§ Ann ClwydTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the police and Ministry of Defence police costs associated with the recent contingency and operational procurement exhibition held at Farnborough Aerospace indicating if these costs were recovered from the exhibition organiser. [14403]
§ Mr. MichaelI understand from the Chief Constable of Hampshire that the cost of policing around the Farnborough Aerodrome was £53,550. As Hampshire Constabulary policing commitment lay outside of the aerodrome site no charge was made by them.
The additional Ministry of Defence Police costs incurred by the recent Contingency and Operational Procurement Exhibition are a matter for my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Defence. I have asked him to write to you on those aspects of your Question which relate to his responsibilities.
