What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help prevent protests from disrupting the activities of defence firms.

Reply

The management of protest activity is an operational matter for the police, who are independent of government.While the Government is committed to protecting the public and businesses from serious disruption, ministers cannot intervene in individual cases or direct police decisions, including those relating to protests near defence firms. This operational independence is a fundamental principle of policing in the UK.
