PA article: 'Speaker calls meeting over Parliament demos'
13.05.2009 17:09
Press Association
Published Date: 13 May 2009
Commons Speaker Michael Martin has told MPs he is to hold a meeting to
discuss the "highly unsatisfactory situation" of demonstrations in
Parliament Square blocking access to the Parliamentary estate.
Mr Martin will meet representatives from the Home Office, Metropolitan
Police and Westminster Council, as well as the deputy mayor of London
in charge of policing, at 5pm on Wednesday.
In a statement, he told the Commons he supports the right to
demonstrate but said the recent occupation of the square by Tamil
demonstrators disrupted the work of the House, involved considerable
cost and exposed many issues of health and safety.
He also described the square as an "absolute shambles", adding: "In
the light of these difficulties, and given the distribution of
responsibilities of Parliament Square between various authorities, I
can tell the House that I have arranged a meeting with the Minister of
State at the Home Office, the deputy mayor of London for policing, the
leader of Westminster Council, and an Assistant Commissioner of the
Metropolitan Police to discuss how demonstrations in the square can be
better regulated so that the functioning of Parliament is not impeded
and the health and safety of individuals not breached."
He will report back on any progress made to resolve the situation, he said.
