Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking with police forces to protect Royal National Lifeboat Institution staff, volunteers and premises from intimidation and harassment.

It is wholly unacceptable for those who put themselves at risk to protect the public to be subjected to harassment or intimidation. Police have a broad range of powers to tackle unlawful behaviour, including harassment and intimidation, and we expect them to take robust action to address it.
