§ Mr. Andrew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the cost to the Thames Valley police force of security provided for Ministers and members of the royal family; and what additional allocation of resources from his Department the Thames Valley police force receives in relation to these responsibilities. [19886]
§ Mr. HowardFor security reasons, it is not the practice to disclose the cost to individual police authorities of 433W carrying out protection duties. Thames Valley police's known security commitments were taken into account under the police funding formula for 1995–96.
