The latest protest comes just weeks after the government backed the development of the UK's largest untapped oil and gas field - and follows similar action by other campaigners.
Three people have been arrested after orange paint was sprayed on Wellington Arch in London by Just Stop Oil protesters. Smoke flares were also set off alongside the Grade I-listed monument, which is nearly 200 years old. Campaigners used fire extinguishers to spray the paint as part of the protest against new fossil fuel licences.
The Met Police confirmed it was made aware of the protest just before 10.20am on Wednesday and three people were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage. The protest comes after three other climate campaigners were each given a 12-month community order and 60 hours of unpaid work for invading the pitch at Lord's cricket ground in London.
