Oldham MP claims Government Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill is poorly thought-out Date published: 17 March 2021
Oldham East and Saddleworth MP Debbie Abrahams
Debbie Abrahams, MP for Oldham East and Saddleworth, has spoken in the Commons about her opposition to the Government’s Policing, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, including poorly thought-out measures to impose disproportionate controls on free expression and the right to protest.
Debbie said: “The Police, Crime, Sentencing & Courts Bill is a missed opportunity. Some measures, such as the Police Covenant, doubling the sentence for assaulting emergency workers and toughening sentencing for death by dangerous driving, I support. But several others including the proposed changes to the right to peaceful protest and on unauthorised encampments targeted at gypsy, Roma and other travelling communities, I have concerns about.
