Debate
Crime and Policing BillContribution
Since Committee, I have been reflecting on whether we should look again not only at “alarm” but also “distress”, and perhaps even the residual role of “insulting” in this area. However, for now, this amendment still focuses on alarm. It is a simple, moderate change which we could make right now to try to address the problem I am trying to highlight.
