Student Protests

Asked whether the Prime Minister had spoken to the Metropolitan Police commissioner in the aftermath of the student protests and whether he thought water cannons should be deployed, the PMS said that the Prime Minister had spoken to the commissioner and the Home Secretary on several occasions, and that operational decisions were rightly taken by the police.

Asked whether Sir Paul Stephenson had offered to resign, the PMS said that the commissioner did not offer his resignation and that the Prime Minister was clear that the fault lay with the people who were intent on causing trouble.
