§ Mr. McFallTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the cost to public funds of hosting the recent Conservative party conference in Scotland; and how much was borne by(a) Strathclyde regional council—Strathclyde police—and (b) any other bodies involved in expenditure for this conference. [25044]
§ Mr. KynochI understand from the chief constable of Strathclyde police that, although full details of all the costs incurred are not yet available, it is likely that additional costs of around £22,800 will have been incurred in policing the conference. Details of costs of any other public sector bodies involved with the conference are not held centrally.
