§ Mr. Charles Morrisonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the additional cost to public funds of each two-hour period that the traffic light system in Parliament Square is replaced by police officers on traffic control duty.
§ Mr. Elystan MorganThe cost on commuted rates of the 3 to 6 constables who are required (according to traffic density) is from £7 19s. to £15 18s. for each two-hour period. It is difficult to assess the additional cost to public funds as these officers are deployed from other duties.
