Proceeding contribution from Lord Herbert of South Downs (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)

It was an additional concern yesterday that vehicle access to the Houses of Parliament was denied for two and a half hours. It has always been the position that it is important that Members of Parliament should be able to get to and from this place so that we can take part in debates and vote. We are reviewing this matter in the context of protecting peaceful demonstrations while also ensuring the special nature of Parliament square, and access to the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
