They had the list because they've had problems with some students occupying buildings in demonstrations around pay and conditions of cleaning staff. Often cleaning is sub-contracted to a different company, and the cleaning staff have terrible pay and conditions. Police requested the information, but did so informally. Police didn't specify specifically what information they needed. [EDIT: This is bad! The uni should have asked for a formal request, and then done a privacy impact assessment. This is mentioned in the report linked to below] Ignore the Register, which is hopeless, and read the report which is also hopeless but at least it's mostly factual. https://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/statements/bush-house-security-report.pdf https://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/statements/bush-house-security-re...
