The Bill will not affect those who are merely associated with the Bolshevist movement.

The outstanding amendment, however, is concerned with the right of appeal. The orixinal clause stated that no removal order shall be called in question in any court or by or before any other authority whatsoever, but this has been altered to read that any aggrieved person may appeal Tribunal of three Sessions Judges and a Judge of the High Court.
