		<description>I&#039;m surprised you didn&#039;t notice/mention the open-ended threat of new restrictions:

&quot;In moving to repeal sections 132-138 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act, &lt;b&gt;the Government nonetheless takes seriously the need to ensure that the operation of Parliament is safeguarded.&lt;/b&gt; For many years this principle has been given expression in sessional orders which provided the Metropolitan Police with clarity on the House’s expectations on the Commissioner. [...] The &lt;b&gt;Government believes that Parliament itself is well placed to contribute to proper consideration of what needs to be secured&lt;/b&gt; in order to ensure that Members are able freely and without hindrance to discharge their roles and responsibilities. [...] The Government therefore &lt;b&gt;invites the views of Parliament on whether additional provision is needed&lt;/b&gt; for the purpose of keeping passages leading to the House free and open while the House is sitting, or to ensure that, for example, excessive noise is not used to disrupt the workings of Parliament.&quot;
