 [...] The Government therefore invites the views of<BR>Parliament on whether additional provision is needed for the purpose<BR>of keeping passages leading to the House free and open while the House<BR>is sitting, or to ensure that, for example, excessive noise is not<BR>used to disrupt the workings of Parliament."<BR><BR></STRONG><A href="http://www.justice.gov.uk/docs/constitutional-renewal-white-paper.pdf" target=_blank></STRONG></FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1207250090_2><FONT color=#003399><STRONG>http://www.justice.gov.uk/docs/constitutional-renewal-white-paper.pdf</A><BR><BR><STRONG>We say:<BR><BR>It's time we had freedom to publicly assemble in the <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1207250090_3 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed">UK</SPAN>. The Campaign<BR>for Free Assembly is calling for a for action against the existing<BR>legislation restricting our freedom to protest and proposed new<BR>restrictions around
