I note the concerns of the noble Lord, Lord Marks, who asked how we celebrate, commemorate or note historic events such as the actions of Nelson Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison for what at the time was determined to be a terrorist offence. I hear what the noble Baroness said, but in its current form the amendment could make historical commentary, such as discussion of the King David Hotel bombing in the formation of the State of Israel, the assassination of Indira Gandhi or comments on Nelson Mandela, a potential offence.
