Proceeding contribution from David Tredinnick (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Order Policing.


Public Order Policing

Having faced rioters in Northern Ireland, I think that the fundamental problem was the route, which put thousands of potentially infiltrated marches down Whitehall, with symbols of authority on both sides. It would have been much better to route the march to a public park—Southwark park or Hyde park—which I understand the National Union of Students wanted for the first march. Why are we not using snatch squads to take out the ringleaders before they can incite violence?
