- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the Serious and Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 in preventing unauthorised demonstrations in Parliament Square; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
Since the provisions of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 came into force the vast majority of demonstrations around Parliament Square have been authorised. The Metropolitan police tell me that there were 118 authorised demonstrations in Parliament Square and Whitehall from 1 August 2005 to 31 January 2006. There were 10 unauthorised demonstrations in the same area where the police took further action.
