	tabling member printed	Lord Pearson of Rannoch
	uin	HL8204
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2020 answer text <p>The legal definition of terrorism, in section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2000, identifies that a religious cause may be the motivation for committing or threatening terrorism. However, this is alongside political, racial or ideological causes, all equally seen as evidence of terrorism. This is in line with Government’s wider understanding of radicalisation in that there is no single pathway and the motivation of each individual may vary.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 30/09/2020 16:17:21 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
