division_name: Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill &#8212; New Clause 98 - Offence of pet theft
motion: <p class="indent" pid="c697.1/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;harmful implications for the ability of police officers to enforce the law and for the health of our democracy.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c700.0/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;The Bill also gives Ministers further enhanced powers to issue further legally binding regulations around these highly subjective and vague thresholds, which raises the prospect that the current or any future government may misuse these powers to stifle criticism and views that it might find uncomfortable.&#8221;</p>
