However, these orders may currently also include more controversial choices, as we have heard in recent times. It should be open to Members of Parliament, in particular those in the other place, to say, “I agree with so many of these proscriptions but not with this one. Yes, this one is a direct action protest and nuisance organisation, but it does not sit with my definition of terrorism”. This is not a hypothetical, because these matters are currently before the courts. That is why I do not seek to relitigate the proscription of Palestine Action, although it came up today. The courts will deal with that, and we should remember that they have already found an arguable case around the recent proscription.
