HL Deb 15 November 1979 vol 402 cc1487-8WA
Lord INGLEWOOD

asked Her Majesty's Government:

On what basis the cost of providing special police protection on the occasion of the National Front conference at Great Yarmouth on the 26th and 27th October, is divided between the central Government, the county of Norfolk and other counties as providing contingents of police to make up the required strength.

Lord BELSTEAD

Where one police force assists another, the charge to be raised against the assisted force is a matter for agreement between the two police authorities concerned. The cost of this operation is therefore essentially a charge on the county of Norfolk police fund, assisted by central Government grant on the usual basis.
