Public Bill CommitteesThank you. Steve, is there anything from you?
Steve Griffiths: No, nothing to add from me, thank you.
Q
Elizabeth de Jong: Steve, you have said, and I would agree, that we absolutely support the right to peaceful protest. We absolutely support the right to free speech. That is really important to us as a trade association. Free speech—debate—is very important for you as well. However, what we are looking at here is the impact on people’s safety. That is also very important.
