I heard what the noble Baroness said about reflecting on that before Report, but at this moment in time I put it to her that we have a wide range of terrorism offences beyond the encouragement offence which may be relevant in addressing her concerns. For example, it is an offence to invite support for a proscribed organisation, to disseminate terrorist publications which encourage others to commit acts of terrorism or to possess anything which contains information that is likely to be useful for the commission or preparation of acts of terrorism. Non-terrorism offences may also be engaged, such as inciting, assisting or encouraging someone to commit crime as well as public order offences.
