Date of response:

Summary of request

  1. Please give names of attendees for the meetings chaired or attended by the Mayor of London or his office prior to and during the Chinese State visit in October 2015, regarding managing protests such as protesters and their signs out of sight of the Chinese “President” Xi Jinping (without any fair and free election). Who wrote the meeting minutes and fielded the meeting minutes?
  2. How did the Mayor of London or his office make sure that the Chinese “president “was not “embarrassed” by protesters during his stay? “Embarrassed” means that protesters were kept far enough away from Xi Jinping who could not hear or see the chanting and signs of the protesters. 
  3. What did the Mayor of London or his office make “unusual requests” to the assistance of the Metropolitan Police and City of London Police about managing protests during the Chinese state visit? What were the Mayor of London or his office’s requests and answers if the “embarrassed” occurred or Chinese authorities requested that protesters were kept far enough away from Xi Jinping?
