HC Deb 17 June 1968 vol 766 cc104-5W
67. Mr. Clark Hutchison

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what was the cost to public funds of police and security arrangements in connection with the visit of Mr. Daniel Cohn-Bendit; and if these are to be recouped from the British Broadcasting Corporation.

Mr. Callaghan

The only additional cost to public funds will possibly be for overtime worked by some of the police officers concerned. It is not possible, without a disproportionate expenditure of time and effort, to establish the cost, especially as under Police Regulations overtime is payable only if time off in lieu cannot be granted within three months.

No costs will be recouped from the British Broadcasting Corporation. These duties were a police responsibility.
