Public Order Act 1986
bacdoc December=1991

Hansard written answer 19.5-89 Col.243

Mr Hurd, the Home Secretary, said that Salisbury district
council, in response to an application from the chief constable
of Wiltshire, sought my consent on 23 May to an order under
section 13 of the Public Order Act 1986. This was based on the
chief constable's assessment that other powers available to him
would not be sufficient to prevent the holding of certain
classes of public procession in the vicinity of Stonehenge from
resulting in serious public disorder. I have therefore given
my consent to an order prohibiting the holding of all public
processions within a radius of four miles from the monument at
Stonehenge, moving in the direction of Stonehenge, other than
normal funeral processions, from Saturday 10 June until Sunday
25 June.
