I move amendment No. 38:

In page 83, to delete line 18.

The offences listed in Schedule 2 are to be regarded as terrorist offences and we agree that most of them are acceptable as such, for example, those related to explosives, murder and so on. However, we feel that the offence of assault causing harm is a lesser offence in comparison, having considered the fact that assault causing serious harm will be included. Therefore, we feel it is overboard to include the offence of assault causing harm in the definition of terrorism and think it should be deleted as this amendment proposes.
