Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he is taking steps with the Secretary of State for the Home Department to help tackle car convoys making political protests that block roads.

Ministers in the Department have regular meetings with colleagues in various departments about what the Government can do to make sure the travelling public are inconvenienced as little as possible, while ensuring the right to protest is maintained. Operational decisions in relation to any specific event are a matter for the Police working in conjunction with the relevant highway authorities.
