HC Deb 29 November 1994 vol 250 c553W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what guidance has been given to the police in relation to the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 in particular in relation to their treatment of hunt saboteurs.

Mr. Maclean

On Royal Assent, we issued to all police forces a circular and introductory guide on the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. Copies have been put in the Library of the House. The information provided is explanatory rather than interpretative. The application of the provisions in respect of the offence of aggravated trespass is an operational matter for chief officers.
