HL Deb 15 March 2001 vol 623 c108WA
Earl Russell

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Which are the terrorist organisations recommended for inclusion in Schedule 2 (Proscribed Organisations) to the Terrorism Act 2000 whose objectives could have been achieved by lawful and democratic means if they had succeeded in attracting sufficient support; and [HL1101]

Which are the terrorist organisations recommended for inclusion in Schedule 2 (Proscribed Organisations) to the Terrorism Act 2000 whose objectives cannot be achieved by lawful and democratic means because they demand changes unachievable within the present state structure; and [HL1102]

Which are the terrorist organisations recommended for inclusion in Schedule 2 (Proscribed Organisations) to the Terrorism Act 2000 whose objectives cannot be achieved by lawful and democratic means because they are not free to compete by those means on equal terms. [HL1103]

Lord Bassam of Brighton

I refer the noble Earl to the note I sent to all parliamentary colleagues, following the Home Secretary's announcement on 28 February that the draft order had been laid listing the organisations intended for addition to Schedule 2 to the Terrorism Act 2000. This draft order was debated in the other place on 13 March, and will shortly be the subject of debate in your Lordships' House.
