Conclusion
There should be a requirement that for a clause 3 offence to be committed, the conduct must have the potential to harm UK interests. An amendment to this effect would ensure that any interference with human rights and liberties would be justified and not disproportionate. The Bill should be amended to add “prejudicial to the safety or interests of the United Kingdom” to clause 3(4)(a).
