Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have had any discussions with the Metropolitan Police regarding reports that they are not investigating the illegal ignition of fireworks on bridges over the River Thames in central London on Wednesday 7 August, one of which landed in the Globe Theatre.

The choice of whether to open an investigation is a decision for the police, who are operationally independent from Government. Home Office Ministers and officials have no power to direct or control the operational activities of the police.
