The majority of MPs voted against deleting the reference to property[1] in the following definition of terrorism:[2]
-
In this Act "terrorism" means the use or threat, for the purpose of advancing a political, religious or ideological cause, of action which --
-
involves serious violence against any person or property,
-
endangers the life of any person, or
-
creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public.
An altogether fuller version found its way into the final Act, although it still retained the definition that if it involved "serious damage to property", but didn't threaten life, it could still count as terrorism. It also included actions that are "designed seriously to interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system".[3]
