Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Written Statement of 23 June on Security, HCWS729, what guidance her Department has issued to police forces on (a) the implementation of the Terrorism Act 2000 (Proscribed Organisations) (Amendment) Order 2025 and (b) how to interpret placards relating to (i) Gaza and (ii) Israel's actions in Gaza that do not refer to Palestine Action.

The Police are operationally independent of government and have significant experience in policing protests and ensuring proscription orders are implemented fairly and in line with legislation.

The Home Office maintains regular contact with Policing to ensure that there is appropriate oversight as the Police carry out their statutory duties
