I will speak briefly on Amendment 371AA and allow the noble Lord, Lord Leigh, to expand on the substance in due course. This is a modest but important amendment to Clause 124 so that the Bill’s reference to disruptive, intimidating demonstrations outside places of worship would extend to faith schools and faith community centres, which can clearly be the target of deeply intimidating, inappropriate protests. They are targeting the Jewish community at the moment, but they could absolutely be extended to other faith communities in future.
