Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will carry out an inquiry into personal protection for the Prime Minister.
Answered by James Brokenshire
As the Honourable Member is aware, the Metropolitan Police Service in conjunction with West Yorkshire Police are carrying out a review into the incident that occurred on Monday 27th October involving the Prime Minister in Leeds.
Protection arrangements are kept under constant review to ensure that they remain appropriate to threat and risk and delivered in an efficient and effective manner. It is however Home Office policy not to provide information on the policing operation or security arrangements for the Prime Minister as to do so would risk compromising the integrity of those arrangements.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to bring forward proposals to limit the free movement of people into the UK from other EU countries.
Answered by James Brokenshire
We have been clear that free movement is an important principle of the EU but it cannot be unqualified. Freedom of movement is not, and cannot be, a freedom to claim benefits. Across Government we have introduced a series of tough domestic reforms to tackle the abuse of free movement rights and to ensure that our controls on accessing benefits and services are amongst the tightest in Europe.
The Prime Minister has made clear that further steps are needed.
