My amendments seek to ensure that, in organising marches, processions and protests, both the organisers, from their point of view, and the police, given responsibility for maintaining order, should be clear about the parameters. That is why I have specifically included a reference to “within 50 metres”, to ensure that there is clarity but also to ensure that there is a debate about this. I would, of course, be open to a conversation with my noble friend the Minister about specific wording. I repeat, however, that I believe clarity in defining much more closely what is intended by “in the vicinity” is both appropriate and necessary.
