Public Order Bill

Proceeding contribution from Kit Malthouse (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 March 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Public Order Bill.

Can the Minister confirm, as an illustration, that, if a demonstration is about to take place by a group who use a particular tactic—gluing themselves to the road, for example—the police may use this power to intercept individuals with glue in their pockets, before they carry out an activity such as gluing themselves that occupies enormous amounts of police time, often puts them and police officers in danger, and causes enormous inconvenience? In those circumstances, will the police be able to use this power to get ahead of the problem?
