Right To Protest In Parliament Square

EDM number 1452 in 2002-03, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 20/06/2003.

That this House recognises that the right to protest is an essential element of a democratic society; notes that the right to protest in Parliament Square is an historic one and that it has been upheld in court when the City of Westminster attempted the removal of Mr Brian Haw to whom the House offers congratulations on the completion of his two year vigil for peace; and further believes that the duty of honourable Members is to uphold those liberties.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
