I will speak briefly on this issue, which I have addressed in the Council of Europe, our human rights body for Europe. I wish to concur with everything both speakers have said. I have real concerns about the direction of travel with regard to the incredible work that NGOs do and this move to threaten them potentially with prosecutions. It would be wonderful if the Government could include this amendment to ensure we are not in any way, intentionally or unintentionally, aligning ourselves with that train of thought.
