Victory for Mark Thomas et al

Good news for people who've supported the campaign against the need to notify police of intention to demonstrate in central London, as posted about previously by me here and here:

"Managing Protest around Parliament: The Government proposes the repeal of sections 132-138 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005. Repeal of these sections will remove the requirement to give notice of demonstrations in the designated area around Parliament. It will also remove the offence for such demonstrations to be held without the authorisation of the Metropolitan Police Commissioner;"
