Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps the Government took to ensure the health and safety of HS2 protestors during their eviction from the Euston tunnel in February 2021.
We have a long tradition in this country of respect for legal protest. However, these protestors were putting themselves and those who might have to try to rescue them at risk. The response to the situation was led by the police, who are operationally independent of Government.
