In your answer to question 2022/1504, you said: “My key worker list is intended to help local authorities give key workers priority access to intermediate housing – and to do that in a way that’s consistent and transparent.

On 3 February 2023 the @MetPoliceEvents Twitter account announced that a section 35 dispersal order had been authorised for 10am-7pm on 4 February in central London in an area that overlapped with the location of planned protests. Follow-up posts clarified that it had not been authorised as part of the policing plan for those protests. The legislation covering section 35 states that: “In deciding whether to give such an authorisation an officer must have particular regard to the rights of freedom of expression and freedom of assembly set out in articles 10 and 11 of the Convention.” Given the overlap...

The current National Roads Policing Strategy from the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) says: “The public are our most influential partner.” How is the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) working with the public to improve the quality of online reporting of road crime so that there are fewer rejections of online submissions and submissions that result in ‘no further action’?

On their way into the State of London Debate 2022, a number of young people from Green New Deal Rising (GNDR) were identified by a plain clothes official who recognised their faces and called out their names. The young people involved are understandably concerned about how they came to the attention of the security teams at the event. Could you explain how the campaigners were identified, and do you share my concerns that this kind of invasive security looks repressive and secretive?
