Public Order Bill

Proceeding contribution from Kit Malthouse (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 May 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Public Order Bill.

I am honestly and genuinely perplexed by the argument about buffer zones. I agree that the harassment of women seeking those services is disgraceful and should not be allowed, but why just them? Why not hospitals in general? Why not places of worship? I understand the sensitivity in that particular situation, but why is it that we object to and are willing to restrict that particular form of protest, but not others?
