The noble Lord, Lord Marks, feared what might come and suggested that this should therefore be in some way hard-wired into our law, making it more difficult for any Government in future to circumvent the difficulties. Well, with great respect, Parliament cannot bind its successors. If a Government decided that they wanted to circumscribe the right to protest, they could do that. So I am afraid I do not think this helps. There are sufficient protections. What is interesting and difficult as a challenge is finding where the limits lie, but this is not an answer.
