Throughout the draft heads of the Bill, there are references to persons who are suspected of having been involved in the commission of a serious offence. There is also information in respect of those who are not involved in it, but may have information. The second heading relates to State security and a person who is suspected of posing an existing and serious threat to the security of the State. Can Ms Moore give me an example of where a person may pose a threat to the security of the State, but he or she would not be involved in the commission of an offence?
