The Criminal Justice (Conspiracy & Terrorism) Bill has become law. The laws will include wide-ranging powers to stop support and association with groups deemed to be ‘inflicting terror’ abroad.

Both Members of Parliament and Lords approved the Bill, after two days of emergency debates. A number of MPs abstained, or tried to block the Bill from becoming law.

The British government is intending to introduce new laws to fight ‘terrorism’.
