HC Deb 14 June 1982 vol 25 c186W
Mr. Bob Dunn

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the number of permitted demonstrations and marches which took place in London on Sunday 6 June; and if he will estimate the police costs incurred as a result.

Mr. Mayhew

We understand from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that the only events of any scale, none of which required permission, were one demonstration preceded by three marches. It is not yet possible to estimate the additional cost to public funds of the officers deployed; the gross cost is estimated at £621,000.
