Speaking later to BBC1’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Mahmood denied this was about banning protest: “This is not about a ban. This is about restrictions and conditions that would enable the police to maybe put further time restrictions or move those protests to other places.

From the BBC’s article:

The home secretary will carry out a review of current protest legislation to “ensure powers are sufficient and being applied consistently”, the government said.

This will include powers to ban protests outright, the government said.
