HC Deb 15 March 1999 vol 327 c492W
24. Mr. Forth

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will review the policy on the financing of witness protection; and if he will make a statement. [74600]

Mr. Boateng

Formal witness protection arrangements are funded from within existing budgets of individual police forces and, as such, are a matter left to the discretion of Chief Police Officers.

I have no plans to review these arrangements.
