HC Deb 09 July 1987 vol 119 c212W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many police officers on average are involved in policing duties outside embassies and high commissions in London.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

There are a small number of officers permanently deployed on duties concerned with the security of diplomatic missions. Others are deployed as necessary. Their number will depend on various factors, including the size and nature of any demonstrations.
