I move amendment No. 8:
In page 4, between lines 13 and 14, to insert the following:“(f) by the insertion of the following subsection after subsection (3):“(4) For the purposes of this Act and notwithstanding any enactment (other than sections 5 and 6 of the Diplomatic Relations and Immunities Act 1967) or rule of law—(a) the fact that a group is or forms part of a military or armed force or a police force maintained by or under the authority of the State or another state does not prevent the group from being a terrorist group, and
(b) no privilege or immunity attaches to a person in relation to his or her actions by reason of the person having acted in the service of a state.”.”.
