Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 January 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I very much understand the hon. Gentleman's concerns. I understand that the police have not yet received notification of any such procession taking place. If notification is given, there are powers under public order legislation for the police to impose conditions subject to the consent of the Home Secretary, and indeed to deny the opportunity for the march to take place. The Home Secretary has said that he will look sympathetically on any application made by the police in that respect.
