Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Order Policing.
Public Order Policing
The police have the job not only of protecting Parliament and keeping our streets safe at such times, but of ensuring that peaceful protest can take place. That is what they were doing. Significantly, they ensured that pedestrian access to the House was open at all times so that a number of students who wished to come and lobby their Members of Parliament could do so. They had their voice heard and Parliament was able to debate unhindered the topic under consideration, and the police did a very good job.
