Parliament protest actions

Julian Todd made this Freedom of Information request to Home Office

The request was successful.

From: Julian Todd

7 January 2008

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have recently read the 31 page consultation document titled:
"Managing Protest Around Parliament" detailing a review of sections
132-138 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005.

This document fails to make any mention of the high-profile
incidents relating to these sections, including a variety of
arrests and judicial actions.

I am therefore requesting a copy of--

* all statistics relating to the written notices to the
Commissioner under section 133,

* all statistics relating to the authorisations given by the
Commissioner under section 134, and

* all reports relating to arrests, prosecutions, and other judicial
actions for offences under these sections;

that are available to the Public Order Unit of the Home Office
which is overseeing the process of review.

Yours faithfully,

Julian Todd

Public Order Team

Dear Maggie Ainsworth

Thank you for your reply on 4 February to my 7 January FOI request
for statistics of the arrests and protests relating to sections
132-138 of the Serious Organized Crime and Police Act that are
available to the Public Order Unit overseeing the review of the
legislation in relation to Managing Protest Around Parliament.

The details you have sent are of the nature I was looking for. They
provide a broad picture of how the legislation has actually been
operating for the years 2005 and 2006. It is unfortunate that the
public consultation[1] closed on 17 January before this information
became available to me.

Can you confirm that, as implied by your letter, the Public Order
Unit does not hold similar lists of arrests and notifications for
the entirety of 2007? You mention only that you are aware of "over
3000 demonstrations notified to the police in 2007".

Yours sincerely,

Julian Todd.
