  I thank the Committee for its rousing endorsement of the previous schedule. The purpose of clause 24 is to make amendments to provide for a new terrorism sentence with a fixed licence period. This is necessary to ensure an approach consistent with Northern Irish law. The Treatment of Offenders Act (Northern Ireland) 1968 is amended to ensure that any offender may have the length of their terrorism sentence reduced by any relevant period spent in police detention or custody. There are further amendments, with broadly similar objectives, made to the Rehabilitation of Offenders (Northern…

  The purpose of the amendments is to remove unnecessary consequential amendments, which included a reference to a serious terrorism sentence in sections 273 and 274 of the sentencing code, which was advanced when the Bill was presented to Parliament. Paragraph (a) is removed to ensure legal clarity and the effect is to remove these amendments from the Bill. Amendment 14 agreed to. Amendment s made: 15, schedule 13, page 105, line 6, leave out paragraph (a). This amendment removes an unnecessary consequential amendment. Amendment 16, schedule 13, page 106, line 11, at end insert—…

  I am grateful for the support for the amendments. Amendment 13 agreed to. Amendments made: 14, in schedule 3, page 82, line 22, leave out “or 42”. This amendment removes reference to paragraph 42 of Schedule 3 to the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019 from a list of provisions under which fingerprints, data and other samples may be taken. Reference to paragraph 42 is not needed because its contents are already covered by paragraph (e). Amendment 15, in schedule 3, page 82, line 26, leave out sub-paragraph (2) and insert— “(2) Paragraph 19 material may be retained indefinitely if—…

• National Security Bill (Eleventh sitting) Commons · Public Bill Committees · 8 September 2022 · Tom Tugendhat

  I do appreciate that elements are being raised about which I will write to various Committee members, and I will follow up on areas that I have not covered in detail. Although the operational use of biometrics remains the same across provisions, we are taking a different approach to the powers provided under STPIMs and the powers in schedule 3. That ensures the right balance and proportionality in tackling foreign state threat activity while protecting individuals’ right to privacy. Although there is the option to make a national security determination under both regimes, under our police…
