Peaceful protest is a vital part of a democratic society. It is a long-standing tradition in this country that people are free to gather together and to demonstrate their views, provided that they do so within the law.<\/p>
Like all members of the public, protesters are subject to the law and should individuals cross the boundary into criminal acts including public order offences, criminal damage, hate crime offences or violent behaviour, the police have the powers to take action.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1528", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Mike Penning"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hemel Hempstead"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mike Penning"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-06-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-06-25T15:38:28.09Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-06-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Demonstrations: Crime"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps the Government is taking to address illegal activity by far left groups in street protests.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "3751"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/384526", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/384526/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Since May 2010 the department has reduced the size of its estate from 30 properties, at a cost of circa £51m per annum, to six properties costing circa £31m per annum. This has been achieved by reducing the amount of space the department uses, by surrendering unwanted premises to landlords and through sub-letting vacant space to other organisations. The department plans to dispose of a further three vacated premises. These are:<\/p>
<\/p>
Building<\/strong><\/p><\/td> Tenure<\/strong><\/p><\/td> Comment<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> Castle View House, Runcorn<\/p> <\/p> 9,953 Sq M (12% of DfE Estate)<\/p><\/td> Freehold<\/p><\/td> The site has been marketed to the public and private sectors and is currently under offer.<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Mowden Hall, Darlington<\/p> <\/p> 6,389 Sq M (7.5% of DfE Estate)<\/p><\/td> Freehold<\/p><\/td> Part of the site already houses a Free School. When fully vacated, the remainder of the site will be handed to the Homes and Communities Agency in September 2015 for new homes.<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Trust Court, Histon<\/p> <\/p> 429 Sq M (0.5% of DfE Estate)<\/p><\/td> Leasehold<\/p><\/td> The site will be surrendered to the landlord at lease expiry in 2016.<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> The vacated properties represent 20% of the department\u2019s estate, with an annual rental value of £138,968. This will reduce to 0.5% when the anticipated freehold disposals are concluded this calendar year.<\/p> <\/p> The department does not hold market rental values for properties it leases. For commercial reasons we are unable to release the value of the freehold properties.<\/p> <\/p> The department also plans to vacate Sanctuary Buildings at lease expiry in 2017 and relocate to a government owned freehold building, which will generate a further saving of circa £8.5m per year for the department and £19m for government.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
