Crime and Policing BillContribution
The noble Baroness, Lady Cash, and other noble Lords mentioned the incident in Notting Hill recently, with protests outside a restaurant. I just say with, I hope, helpful clarity to the noble Baroness that the potential offences of harassment or inciting violence may or may not have been applicable in that case, but it is for the police on the ground to make a judgment about the action they wish to invoke in that circumstance. I do not wish to second-guess the police on those issues at this point, but the potential is there for complaints to be made to the police if any of those offences took place.
