U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron’s office required the organizers of a 2012 Olympics beach volleyball test event to turn down its sound system because it interfered with a meeting about rioting across the country.

A six-day beach volleyball exhibition is taking place at Horse Guards Parade, behind the prime minister’s official residence at 10 Downing Street. Cameron convened a session of the government’s emergency response committee to discuss the unrest that’s led to more than 1,250 arrests since looting and arson attacks began on Aug. 6.

“We were asked to reduce the volume while the prime minister did his briefing yesterday on the riots,” Duncan Firth, director of Drivers Jonas Deloitte, the company responsible for the beach volleyball venue, said in an interview today.
