The home secretary says the amendments to the proposed Public Order Bill will help curb protesters blocking roads or slowing down traffic.
On Monday, the bill reaches the report stage in the House of Lords, with debates on measures used by some protesters such as locking-on and tunnelling, the thresholds as to what point the police can intervene, and new stop and search powers.
Under the proposed changes, police would not need to wait for disruption to take place and could shut demonstrations down before they escalate.'Would the PM consider making Just Stop Oil a proscribed organisation?' Ahead of the debate, Ms Braverman said:"Enough is enough. Blocking motorways and slow walking in roads delays our life-saving emergency services, stops people getting to work and drains police resources.
"Around 75 days of Just Stop Oil action alone cost the taxpayer £12.5m in policing response. This is simply not fair on the British public.
