THE Prime Minister has confirmed that the policing Bill will be brought back to Parliament, with new powers to crack down on protest to feature in the Queen’s Speech. 

The new law designed to hand police greater powers to shut down peaceful protest was shelved earlier in the year after it sparked nationwide demonstrations.

But Downing Street officials crushed hopes that the Bill would be thrown out, confirming it will feature in the Queen’s Speech tomorrow, when ministers lay out their legislative agenda for the upcoming year.
