Policing and Crime Bill

My Lords, if the Minister is looking at this again, I wonder whether the words "a particular place" are important. They occur in Clause 34(2) in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d). I wonder whether in paragraph (b) an order is envisaged against the person associating with particular persons. Why it should be "in a particular place" may not be not apparent; but the definition of "place" includes an area, which could obviously be big enough to prevent the person being with particular persons. The whole thing is somewhat complicated, and I understand the anxiety. It may be that under the restriction in Clause 33, the judge who is imposing the injunction would have regard to the need for it. In a way, it is better not have examples at all. If we are going to leave it to the judge, why have this rather interesting list?
