Demonstrations: Greater London
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will hold discussions with the Metropolitan Police Commissioner on responding to an inquiry by the hon. Member for East Londonderry on a parade in Central London on 20 September 2025.
Answered by Sarah Jones
This Government is committed to working with the Metropolitan Police to ensure that the right to protest, including in parades, is balanced with the protecting communities from serious disruption or harm.
Government ministers do not intervene in how the police applies laws relating to protest, which are matters reserved for operational forces.
