HC Deb 23 May 1986 vol 98 c336W
Mr. Gould

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what arrangements have been made for allocating the cost of the police operations at Wapping between the different forces involved.

Mr. Giles Shaw

I understand from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that only the Metropolitan and City of London police forces have been involved in policing marches and demonstrations at or in connection with the News International plant at Wapping. Under a long-standing agreement between the Commissioners of Police of the two forces, the policing costs of events which are jointly policed lie where they fall.
