§ 8. Mr. BUCHANAN(for Mr. McGOVERN) asked the Home Secretary the number of police constables and 566 officials who were on duty on the day of the wedding of the Duke of Kent and Princess Marina for the purpose of regulation of traffic and protection; and also the total cost of same?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThe number of regular police officers employed in connection with the ceremony was 11,113. It is not possible to give the total cost; it is borne by the police fund in any case and cannot be separated from other expenditure.
§ Mr. THORNEMay I ask whether these policemen are going to receive any recognition of their services on that day?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI must have notice of that question.
