Given the seriousness of this, in order to impose an SCPO, the court must have reasonable grounds to believe that the order would protect the public from serious crime. Illegal entry or entry by deception do not in themselves represent behaviour or activity that would require public protection in the same way as existing offences in Schedule 1, such as firearm or drug supply offences, do; this goes to the point made by the noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, about proportionality. The Government do not, therefore, consider them suitable for inclusion at this time.
