Questions on the Bill

8. Is the legislation necessary? Or, do you think an alternative approach should be considered?

Please provide your response in the box provided.
Yes. Legislation gives clarity about the status if those covered.

9. What are your views on Section 1 of the Bill, which limits the pardon to picketing or demonstration and connected travel?

Please provide your response in the box provided.
It might also include support activity.

10. What are your views on Section 2 of the Bill, which details the range of offences which are covered by the pardon?

Please provide your response in the box provided.
They're a reasonable start but shoukd allow for broad interpretation.

11. Do you think previous or subsequent convictions should disqualify a miner from receiving a pardon?

Please provide your response in the box provided.
There may be convictions on either side of the period that were comparable to those pardoned, in pursuit of preparing for or tidying up after the strike. If anything these should be covered by the pardon. Anything else is irrelevant.
