HC Deb 16 December 1980 vol 996 c116W
Mr. Kenneth Baker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will consider making organisations that hold marches and rallies in central London responsible, either in part or in whole, for the policing costs in those cases where the Greater London Council and the appropriate London borough council have recommended to the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that such a march or rally should not take place.

Mr. Brittan

We will consider this possibility in the course of the current review of the Public Order Act 1936 and related legislation.
