	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2021 answer text <p>There were no reports of injuries to the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) officers who responded to the protest by Insulate Britain on Thursday 4 November, which took place on Parliament Square in Westminster. MPS confirmed that there were 59 arrests made in connection to the protest.</p><p> </p><p>The right to peaceful protest is a vital part of a democratic society. However, this does not extend to unlawful behaviour. Should a protest contravene the law, the police have comprehensive powers to deal with activities that spread hate or deliberately raise tensions through violence or public disorder. The use of these powers and the management of demonstrations are an operational matter for the police.</p><p> </p><p>Through the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, the Government is introducing new measures which will allow the police to take a more proactive approach in managing highly disruptive protests.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 22/11/2021 17:24:21 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
