Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what action they intend to take following the emergence of a video appearing to show throat-slit gestures made by an individual at the Pakistan High Commission in London.

Should a protest contravene the law and criminality take place on a protest, the police have the powers to respond. The use of these powers and the management of demonstrations are an operational matter for the police. We are aware of reports of a video being circulated on social media and understand that the Metropolitan Police is investigating. It would not be appropriate to offer further comment at this stage.
