Recommendation
The Government should consider inserting a requirement in the new offences in clauses 2, 3 and 5, that conduct be “prejudicial to the safety or interests of the United Kingdom” (preferably once clarified to offer greater legal certainty). If it declines to do so, the Government should justify this decision and explain how it will ensure that these offences do not inadvertently criminalise benign activity.
