I totally reject the suggestion of the noble Lord, Lord Marks of Henley-on-Thames, that somehow I am in a Nineteen Eighty-Four dystopia by producing some limits on protest where there is criminal action taking place. It is perfectly reasonable for Parliament to determine legislation as to how and when protest is policed, so that the right to protest is upheld to the same point that the rights to enjoy life or to not have criminal activity are upheld.
