Human Rights

Can I just finish the point? I do not want to break off without saying what the improvements have been. First, we have had the report from Her Majesty's inspectorate of constabulary, which clearly moves in the direction of saying that the right to peaceful protest—not technically lawful protest—should lie at the heart of the police approach. That is an enormous and important advance on the part of the police. Secondly, we had the Tamils' demonstration, which was policed in an entirely different way. Of course, it could be argued that it would have been unreasonable and dangerous to have policed it in any other way in the circumstances, but lessons had nevertheless been learned. Finally, we had the Blackheath climate camp, which has not been mentioned—[Interruption.] I apologise to the hon. Member for Hendon if he did mention it. The attitude of the police there was very different, and communication between them and the protesters was much better. Although there were still points of tension, what happened at Blackheath was a vast improvement over what had happened at Bishopsgate and Kingsnorth. I shall give way to the hon. Member for Bury St. Edmunds if he still wishes to intervene.
