Wow, the copy paste from Word really mucked up the formatting :-)

I am not a lawyer but…….
You know what this means Graeme, so can I say I am glad you are on our side and yes it is all a bit of a dog's breakfast. Both the bill and the formatting.
Still your points are all relevant. -

Automatic numbering in Word does suck. (presumably the sequence is supposed to be … 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, … 18, 19, 20, … 24, (still 24), 2-->25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, (ignore the blank line), 31, …)
Proofing notes (mostly trivial):
2 [=12]. "Has it proposed change arisen" --> "… its …" or "…the…"
15. at first sight looks redundant, but from what follows, presumably means something like 'not only do the acts carried out fall short of the current definition of a terrorist act, but the acts attempted fall short of the definition of attempting to commit a terrorist act' (a distinction between planning and carrying a plan through to completion)?
17. "it cover" --> "it covers"? (or is a modal verb missing?)
22. "by including situation" --> "by including situations"?
24. "creating Each offence should have its own section" --> "creating a new section for each offense"
7 [=30]. "what is intended to be cover " --> "…covered"
"threating" --> "threatening"
33. "consider with" --> "consider within" -

Thanks! The numbering in word is fine. It's the copy paste that didn't work!
