Public Order Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jon Trickett (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 March 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Public Order Bill.

That is the point I was just making, and I thank the hon. Gentleman for repeating it.

The police used the covid rules, which had been passed by the House, possibly regrettably. But under this Bill, the police will need no excuse whatever, because the law will allow them to arrest people even if there is no suspicion of any kind. It is quite extraordinary to see a clause in a Bill brought before this British House of Commons proposing that people can be intercepted by the police on no suspicion whatsoever.
