Proceeding contribution from Nadine Dorries (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Disorder (NUS Rally).


Public Disorder (NUS Rally)

In response to the comments of the hon. Member for Cardiff West (Kevin Brennan), let me say that there is photographic, film and eye-witness evidence that NUS stewards whipped up the crowd yesterday. It is not good enough. The Minister has said that the estimate of the number of protesters was upgraded from 5,000 to 15,000 yesterday. Can he tell us at what time the NUS informed the police that the estimate had risen by that amount? Did the police have time to ““man up”” to deal with that number of protesters?
