Public Order Bill

Proceeding contribution from Viscount Hailsham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 7 February 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Public Order Bill.

I am very grateful to my noble friend for giving way, but I am afraid that he is wrong about the absence of suspicion. When I was a special constable 40 years ago—I do not have the experience of the noble Lord opposite—I would stand in Trafalgar Square and get messages on the police radio such as, “Race code 3 or race code 9 coming down in a beaten-up Vauxhall: worth a stop.” That is not suspicion; that is arbitrary stopping.
