Fathers for justice

Speaking on his phone from the roof of Westminster Hall, Mr Harrison, a wealthy farmer and entrepreneur, said the protest was "a present" for his seven-year-old daughter who he said he had not seen for more than four years.

"I hope this will remind her how much I love and miss her," he said.

Of the campaign to improve access rights for fathers, he said "We've been in dialogue for nine months with government bodies and we hoped we would receive more co-operation than we have.

"I can't think of anything worse than doing this, it's terrifying - I've never climbed up high like this before."

"I can see armed police down there - that doesn't instil me with a lot of confidence.
