00:03Piers nodded through the national security bill on Tuesday night after it passed the
00:10report and committee stage in the upper chamber.
00:14The emergency legislation was put forward to tackle groups such as the Iran's Islamic
00:21Revolutionary Guard Corps after a space of attacks on Jewish communities in London, which
00:28are thought to be linked to the Middle Eastern country.
00:32Home Office Minister Lord Hansen of Flint said the bill had been fast-tracked after cross-party
00:38calls for action to be taken.
00:42But the government has also accepted amendments which would give protections to humanitarian
00:47groups and bodies amid fears the new legislation could criminalise charities.
00:53Lady Northover said some charities and aid agencies in Yemen have abandoned communities
00:58because of working with groups that have been blacklisted by the US government.
01:04The government saw off a challenge by opposition Piers to ban the wearing of any uniforms or
01:09carrying images related to prescribed organisations.
01:12Lord Hansen had argued that the amendment put forward by Conservative Shadow Minister Lord
01:17Davies of Gower was not appropriate for the bill.
01:22The amended bill will now be debated by Members of Parliament next week.
