Would the Minister consider altering the wording to a member "must" direct the person to desist or leave immediately? The current wording gives such people a warning similar to that required by the High Court under section 8 of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994 which states "the member may direct the person so suspected to do" to desist or leave immediately. I propose that members should have to do that rather than having an option. I can return to the matter on Report Stage if the Minister would like to consider it in the intervening period. It is just in case a person did not realise they were doing something.
