Proceeding contribution from David Burrowes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill.


Protection of Freedoms Bill

My hon. Friend is making an important and strong case. Is he aware that, before he became a Member, whom we welcome, the House was occupied with debates about public order, particularly when dealing with cases of homophobic hatred? Many examples were cited and many concerns were expressed about application in that case. Such examples lend themselves to the issue of section 5 and its wide interpretation and the need for us to take a proper, thorough look at it. This is an important opportunity to do so.
