<p>The incident on Tuesday happened amid concerns over security for MPs following the fatal stabbing of Southend West MP Sir David Amess last week.</p>
<p>The Metropolitan Police tweeted: “We’re aware of a protest in Westminster today which is marching to a number of locations.</p>
<p>“During this protest, a group attempted to surround a Member of Parliament on Horseferry Road.</p>
<p>“Our officers were immediately on scene where they safely escorted him to a nearby building.”</p>
<p>Mr Gove, who was carrying a bag, a file and a drink at the time, was asked by an officer where he was going.</p>
<p>He pointed down the street and officers then put themselves between the MP and protesters as they helped him to make his way into a nearby building.</p>
<p>Amid jostling as officers attempted to keep demonstrators back from the entrance, a man appeared to shout “Arrest Michael Gove”.</p>
<p>One person who approached Mr Gove asked him how he justified “illegal lockdowns”.</p>
