To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people were arrested in connection with protests organised by Extinction Rebellion in (a) 2022 and (b) 2023.
The Home Office does not hold a complete data set of all arrests made related to these groups for the time periods requested.
However, in January 2023, the police reported that around 2000 individuals were arrested during 2022 relating to JSO protests by 15 different forces for a range of criminal offences. This includes 31 individuals who were arrested in advance of JSO protests and had equipment seized before it could be used to cause disruption.
Additionally, the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) reported that over 13 weeks between May and July 2023, 271 arrests were made in response to JSOs 91 days of consecutive slow marches in London. Of those arrests, 174 have been charged to date with a breach of conditions. A further 82 remain on bail. These numbers were correct as of 23 August 2023. The lower number of arrests so far in 2023, reflect the MPS’s use of powers to impose conditions on public possessions.

The Home Office does not centrally hold information relation to protests by Extinction Rebellion. However, it was reported by the London Assembly ( Policing Just Stop Oil protests has cost Met £7.7 million | Metropolitan Police) that there were 243 arrests in total made between January and September 2022.

Groups like Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil cause real misery to those caught up in their protests. Just Stop Oil were responsible for over 75 days of turmoil in 2022. In October alone, nearly 12,000 Metropolitan Police officer shifts were required to respond, diverting police from our communities. Overall, the police response to Just Stop Oil has cost the taxpayer over £14.5 million.
The dangerous tactics used by Just Stop Oil on the M25 resulted in significant backlogs, meaning tens of thousands of drivers were gridlocked for hours. In one case, the longest tailback was over ten miles. National Highways have stated that these methods cause significant economic harm, disruption, and inconvenience to the general public.
The Public Order Bill is now passing through Parliament and will improve the police’s ability to respond to highly disruptive tactics.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what they estimate they have made of the cost of policing Extinction Rebellion protests in (1) 2019, (2) 2020, and (3) 2021; and whether any of those costs have been met by the organisers of the protests.

The highly disruptive tactics used by some protesters cause a disproportionate impact on the surrounding communities and are a drain on public funds. The management of protests, including the tactics they use; their cost; and their resourcing, is an operational matter for the police.
During Extinction Rebellion’s protests of April and October 2019, the Metropolitan Police Service reported that policing operations for the two extended protests cost around £37m - more than twice the annual budget of London's violent crime taskforce.
The right to peaceful protest remains a fundamental tool of civic expression and will not be curtailed by this Government. Protesters are not charged for the costs of policing protests.

The Prime Minister knows very well that I have an 11-year track record of opposing HS2, not least because of the environmental damage it is causing, and that I have expressed my support for peaceful environmental campaigns against this costly project. Regrettably, the actions of Extinction Rebellion, who have glued themselves to trains and now tried to interfere with the freedom of the press, have tarnished
the reputation of peaceful environmental protesters. Will my right hon. Friend tell me what options he is considering to ensure that rather than offering encouragement to law breakers, such unacceptable behaviour and attacks on our democratic freedoms can be prevented from happening again, and that the integrity of peaceful campaigners is not impugned?

I draw a sharp distinction and contrast between the civilised approach of my right hon. Friend to environmental protest and that taken by those who tried in vain to frustrate the freedom of the press. I must say that I was struck by the silence of the right hon. and learned Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Keir Starmer) when he had an opportunity to condemn it. To answer my right hon. Friend’s point directly, I do think it is important now, given the weight of the economic interests that were under threat and the threat to the freedom of the press, that we look at what we can do under public order and, indeed, under the law on nuisance. That is what we will do.
