McNulty rejected the proposal to create offences for the ‘grooming’ and ‘radicalisation’ of vulnerable people by terrorists/extremist organisations on the 5 March 2008.
In a response to the request, littered with words often coupled with dogs, by Labour MP for Luton South, Margaret Moran, McNulty said: “There are no current plans for additional legislation to create specific offences of ‘grooming’ and ‘radicalising’.
“The 2006 Terrorism Act introduced offences regarding the encouragement of terrorism which we believe are sufficient in this regard.”
Under the 2006 Terrorism Act, an individual found guilty of an offence for training for terrorism shall be liable to imprisonment not exceeding ten years, or to a fine.
Is this harsh enough though?
And will it do the trick of deterring a similar action in the future?
