They held a demonstration this morning, before entering the building to debate Baroness Sue Miller's Public Demonstrations (Repeals) Bill, which would repeal the legislation that makes it illegal to protest within 1km of Parliament, without first getting permission from the police. The Bill gained support from Conservative, Labour and crossbench peers, as well as Liberal Democrats, with only the minister speaking against. It passed its second reading and will now be debated in committee.
