A review of disruptive tactics used by protesters is expected to stop short of demanding that named groups such as Palestine Action and Just Stop Oil should be banned.

The 240-page report, written by the former Labour MP John Woodcock, will instead recommend that groups that use protests to “create mayhem and hold the public and workers to ransom” should be proscribed in future.
