HC Deb 26 November 1991 vol 199 cc442-3W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce a pricing policy for the policing of football matches based upon club attendance levels and past records of incidents.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

Charges made by police authorities for the policing of football matches under section 15 of the Police Act 1964 reflect the number of officers deployed. Home Office circular 36/1991 encouraged chief officers to discuss deployment with football clubs, taking account of all relevant factors, but ultimately it must be for the chief officer to decide how many officers need to be deployed on each occasion.
