Birmingham Attacks and Extinction Rebellion Protests

Debate between Andrea Jenkyns and Kit Malthouse

Monday 7th September 2020 Commons Chamber

[Andrea Jenkyns (Morley and Outwood) (Con)]

With fewer hard-working commuters to disrupt, Extinction Rebellion is trying to attack the freedom of the press by stopping newspapers being printed and delivered. Will my hon. Friend reassure the House and the country that the police have the resources and the support they need to fully enforce the law and ensure that everyone abides by the same rules?

[Kit Malthouse]

I can reassure my hon. Friend that police forces within the area and surrounding it were able to deploy significant assets to both incidents in fast time.
