Lord Hermer KC was asked to intervene after Scotland Yard warned it would breach protocols.

Scotland Yard's Special Escort Group of motorcyclists said there was no specific threat to Swift.

It was only after Hermer ’s intervention that the Met relented, sources said.

Downing Street said it never commented on the work of the attorney-general and rejected suggestions ministers had interfered in the Met ’s processes.

It refused to answer questions about why Hermer was involved, or who in government had requested that he intervene.

Hermer did not attend any Swift concerts.
