Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been (a) charged and (b) convicted of breaching a Public Space Protection Order around an abortion clinic in each year since 2018.
This question was answered on 19th January 2023
The Home Office does not collect any data on breaches of Public Space Protection Orders.
Public Space Protection Orders are designed to stop individuals or groups committing anti-social behaviour in a public space. Decisions regarding what restrictions are imposed are matters for the local authority which is required to consider people’s rights under the European Convention.
