HC Deb 17 March 1999 vol 327 c664W
Mr. Blunt

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many police were involved in policing the recent demonstration by Kurds in Holland Park; and what was the additional cost of this demonstration to the Metropolitan Police. [76604]

Kate Hoey

The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis tells me that 481 uniformed officers were involved in policing the march and demonstration in Holland Park on 20 February. He is unable to calculate the additional policing cost to the Metropolitan Police as overtime claims for all the officers involved have not yet been submitted.
