<p>Britain&#8217;s most senior police officer has warned of more disorder on the streets after violent scenes marred the latest student protest over higher tuition fees.</p>
<p>The warning from Sir Paul Stephenson came as Downing Street indicated a crunch Commons vote on the proposals to raise fees will be held before Christmas.</p>
<p>Sir Paul said his officers failed to correctly assess the mood of protesters in a new political climate before the Millbank riot two weeks ago but the Metropolitan Police boss said they did not make that mistake on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The protests, which in London saw 35 people arrested and seven police officers injured, were described by veteran Labour MP David Winnick as &#8220;marvellous&#8221;.</p>
<p>Scotland Yard deployed more than 800 officers, almost four times as many as on November 10.</p>
<p>Potential targets for occupation, including the headquarters of the Liberal Democrats, were encircled by officers as reserves surrounded Trafalgar Square.</p>
<p>Speaking about Wednesday&#8217;s clashes, Sir Paul said: &#8220;The bottom line is we did not get it right two weeks ago and in my opinion we did get it right yesterday.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sir Paul said out of the 35 arrested yesterday, nine were held for vandalising and looting a police carrier left stranded in the centre of Whitehall.</p>
<p>Sir Paul defended the decision to &#8220;kettle&#8221; thousands of protesters, including many school pupils, in Whitehall, close to the entrance to Downing Street.</p>
<p>He said when several large-scale marches linked up in Whitehall police wanted to stop them getting into Parliament Square and beyond.</p>
