Schools: Demonstrations

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many anti-vaccination protestors have been arrested for harassment and intimidation outside school gates since September 2021.

Answer

The Home Office does not centrally hold data regarding the number of anti-vaccination protesters arrested outside of school gates since September 2021.

The use of powers to manage protests is an operational decision for the police. Through the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, the Government is introducing new measures which will allow the police to take a more proactive approach in managing highly disruptive protests.
