Labour — Bermondsey and Old Southwark

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 October 2024

Debate

Policing of Protests

Contribution

Southwark police officers recently told Bermondsey safety action group that they struggled to prevent or solve crime due to extraction duties, when they have to police repeat protests elsewhere in London. Does the Minister believe that the Met needs new powers to refuse permission for some repetitive protests in the capital, or should it use existing powers better to resolve and reduce extraction duties and increase safety in my community?
