Lord Sharpe of Epsom (Con)
I failed to answer the question from the noble Baroness, Lady Chakrabarti, on when this part of the Act will commence. I can give her a better answer today. It is on 2 July this year. However, I can also say that this gentleman was not arrested under the Public Order Act. He was arrested for conspiracy to cause a public nuisance. I cannot go further in commenting on the specifics of the case.
Baroness Chakrabarti (Lab)
My Lords, why did the Government not bring in the protection at the same time that they brought in the new powers?
Lord Sharpe of Epsom (Con)
I cannot answer that, I am afraid. I do not know.
