Sir Mark Rowley said it was 'unfortunate' those who were arrested were unable to protest, but he supported officers.
The head of the Metropolitan Police has defended the policing of the Coronation after six anti-monarchy protesters were arrested, detained for hours and then released without charge.
Mr Smith has said he is considering legal action over the arrests, which he said followed four months of conversations with the Met about Republic's protest plans. Speaking later in the House of Commons, Mr Davis pointed out that "within one week of the Public Order Bill entering the law", the Met had had to "apologise" over arrests.
Labour MP Dame Diana Johnson, who chairs the Home Affairs Committee, said the committee would "no doubt" want to look at the use of the new law in the policing of Coronation protests.The 2023 Public Order Act is the government's second major piece of legislation changing protest laws in under two years.The new act goes further:
• Other new offences include up to three years in jail for tunnelling as part of a protest. Police will also have new powers to search people for super-glues and padlocks.
