§ 24. Mr. Fowlerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will now make a statement on his proposals to amend or clarify the law regarding picketing.
§ Mr. R. CarrAs the House will know, the Government have promised a statement on their review of the law on picketing and I had hoped to make this before Easter. There has however been a case before the courts concerning one important aspect of the law relating to picketing and leave to appeal to the House of Lords has recently been granted. In these circumstances I wish to consider the matter further.
