Delegation to meet Home Secretary on November 4 over Harrow protest

Posted by Ian Proctor on Oct 28, 09 12:10 PM in Local Authority

A POLITICAL delegation from Harrow will meet the Home Secretary on November 4 in an effort to explore what powers he has to stop December's planned Stop The Islamisation of Europe protest.
Tony McNulty, Labour MP for Harrow East, confirmed to the Observer that he and his Labour colleague Gareth Thomas, MP for Harrow West, are to talk to Alan Johnson along with a cross-party group of councillors from Harrow Council and Councillor Navin Shah, Labour Assembly member for Brent and Harrow.
He said the meeting would take place on Wednesday next week at either the House of Commons or the Home Office.
Next month's proposed demonstration by Stop The Islamisation of Europe outside the replacement Harrow Central Mosque in Station Road, Harrow, follows an aborted protest on September 11 which drew an anti-fascism counter-protest up to 2,000 strong and resulted in nine arrests.
The Metropolitan Police said it cannot ban the December march because it is a legal static protest.
