Public Order Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 March 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Public Order Bill.

I am old enough to remember when a policeman used his initiative and intuition to suspect that a crime was probable, or could be caused or had been caused. Does the Minister feel that the Bill ensures that a policeman can still use his initiative to ensure that those who are carrying out crimes can be detained with the suspicion of cause, rather than without evidence?
