If it becomes law, the Crime and Policing Bill 2024-26 will introduce further measures aimed at restricting certain behaviours at protests, including creating new offences of possessing pyrotechnics, climbing war memorials, and concealing identity. It would also allow the police to impose conditions on protests planned to pass sites of religious worship.

It could also allow the police to place conditions on protests that, due to their regularity, have a “cumulative impact” of disruption. This would replace legislation previously introduced via statutory instrument in June 2023 that was quashed in 2025 following judicial review.

Resolves YES if the Crime and Policing Bill 2024-26 is passed and includes a requirement to take into account in cumulative distribution when imposing conditions under section 12 (power to impose conditions on public processions).
