Proceeding contribution from Baroness Knight of Collingtree (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Disorder: Policing.


Public Disorder: Policing

My Lords, will my noble friend Lord Strathclyde comment on the statement made by the Minister last Thursday that the order ensuring Peers and MPs’ entry to Parliament has now been dropped? Is he aware that a top constitutional expert in this House has assured me this morning that Peers have not suspended that order, so presumably they still have such rights? Does he agree that if demonstrators and accompanying anarchists are aware that they are able to halt even a part of the work of Parliament, we have reached a dangerous situation indeed?
