Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.

Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

I am rather worried by the Lord Chancellor's reply to the hon. Member for Hendon (Mr. Dismore). The point about schedule 4 is that it provides extra powers over and above those about public order, and as far I can see, it provides them for the purpose only of""maintaining…access to and from the Palace of Westminster."" The Lord Chancellor has, however, talked about using those provisions—not the more general ones, but those provisions—for more general public order purposes, and the schedule should not be interpreted that way.
