Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper said she has “some concerns” over how the police handled protests at the coronation.
Asked on Sky’s Sophy Ridge On Sunday about how the police handled protests at the coronation and if they got the balance right, she said: “I’ve got concerns that they may not have done. We still need to see some more information coming out about what’s actually happened.
“Some of that information is unfolding. But, on the face of it, I do have concerns.”
She added: “What worries is me is that the Conservative government have now increased these sort of wide-ranging powers… what they haven’t done is enshrined the sort of legal responsibility and the duty on the police to actually facilitate peaceful protest.”

Police got ‘balance right’ in arrests, says Culture Secretary
Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer has denied that police went too far in policing the coronation, saying they got the “balance right”.
Asked the question, she told Sky News’ Sophy Ridge On Sunday programme: “No. The police are operationally independent from Government.
“What they had to do was to police an international event on the world stage and I think they took that into account in their policing.
“What they have to do is balance the right to protest, which is important in a democracy. At the same time there’s the right of all those other people to enjoy what was a fabulous day.
“I think, overall, they managed to get that balance right.”
