Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

It applies in the sense that if noise gets entirely out of hand, environmental health standards come in. If it does not apply, it will be for human rights reasons, in which case there is nothing that the amendment can do about it as it would violate the Human Rights Act and the European convention on human rights. Either way, the hon. Gentleman cannot go down that route. Even if the statute does not apply, there is the common law of public nuisance, which has been applied to demonstrations for centuries.
