HC Deb 07 May 1981 vol 4 c132W
21. Sir Derek Walker-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will bring forward proposals, by way of reintroduction of a suitably amended and updated Riot Act or otherwise, for strengthening the defence of public order and for the protection of lives and property of citizens.

Mr. Whitelaw

This is one of the matters I am considering in the course of my review of the Public Order Act 1936 and related legislation.
