Public Order Act 1986 (Serious Disruption to the Life of the Community) Regulations 2023 Lord Sharpe of Epsom moved that the draft Regulations laid before the House on 27 April 2023 be approved. Then Lord Coaker moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of Lord Sharpe of Epsom, to leave out all the words after “that” and insert “while approving the draft Regulations laid before the House on 27 April, this House regrets that the Regulations propose as secondary legislation, which is subject to reduced scrutiny, measures that were recently rejected in primary legislation, and that His Majesty’s Government has not addressed the concerns raised in the House when the measures were in primary legislation, or undertaken a full public consultation on these controversial measures; and therefore calls on His Majesty’s Government to withdraw the Regulations". After debate, the amendment was agreed to (see division 4). Then Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of Lord Sharpe of Epsom, to leave out the words last inserted and insert “this House declines to approve the draft Public Order Act 1986 (Serious Disruption to the Life of the Community) Regulations 2023 because Parliament has already rejected during consideration of primary legislation the proposals contained within those Regulations". The amendment was disagreed to (see division 5). Then the original motion, as amended, was agreed to.
