Mr. Hayward

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis as to the cost and the number of police man hours involved in the arrangements for, and policing of, the mass lobby of the House of Commons which took place on Tuesday 8 July.

Mr. Giles Shaw

I understand from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that policing the mass lobby of the House of Commons on 8 July involved 196.5 police man hours. No overtime was necessary and no additional costs were incurred by the Metropolitan police on the event.
