The victim can keep the protesters at a distance. It is they who are subjected to the harassment and difficulty. It is their alarm and distress that we seek to address by means of Amendment No. 74. The amendments propose three ways in which the provisions of the Bill might well be strengthened. I do not think it is enough simply to deal with the house by itself.
Protesters already go to the business premises.
In any case, the law needs to remain one step ahead of the criminal. It is important that we take action to protect these people. Of course it is true that there is existing law on the issue and of course it is true that the police have had insufficient resources for or have given insufficient priority to protecting some of these victims. That is what Clause 41 seeks to do and our amendments seeks to take that a notch or two further. I think that I shall be sailing slightly closer to the point of view of the noble Lord, Lord Cope.
