To be clear, going back to the points the noble Lord, Lord Pannick, made, those who want to oppose the proscription order can do so. There is nothing wrong with and nothing preventing anybody standing in Parliament Square and saying, “I oppose the proscription of Palestine Action”. There is nothing at all in the order we took through that says that somebody cannot stand in Parliament Square and say, “I support Palestine” or “I oppose Israel”. But when the test is put in place, as it is under the Act, of what proscription is, and Governments have that information put in front of them, we have a duty to put that before the House and to defend it.
