It is the second time in little over a month that the group has staged a protest at Ms Harman's home in Herne Hill, south London.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said police were called at 6.22am and officers are in attendance. It is not known if Ms Harman was at home when the incident began.

It is believed the pair are dressed as superheroes, with one in a Batman costume and the other dressed as Spider-Man.

Last month two protesters, Jolly Stanesby and Mark Harris, both from south Devon, scaled the roof of Ms Harman's home dressed as superheroes.

Mr Stanesby spent more than 24 hours on the Cabinet minister's roof in a protest that began on June 8.

The pair were bailed by police until July 16 pending further police inquiries.

The group said at the time it wanted to highlight the fact that fathers were being made redundant emotionally in the courts, and now biologically in the new Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill.

Last month's protest forced Ms Harman, Minister for Women and Equality, out of her home.
