Climate Change: Demonstrations

Asked by Apsana BegumLabourHome OfficeTabled Answered 18 December 2024UIN 19856

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been arrested using counter terrorism powers for activity relating to protests against climate change in the last year.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

The Home Office publishes information and statistics relating to the number of arrests and outcomes (such as charges and convictions) for terrorist-related activity each quarter.

However, this data is provided to the Home Office by Counter Terrorism Policing Headquarters (CTPHQ) and does not include the type of detail requested relating to each arrest.
