To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will break down the costs of policing related to Mike Tyson's visit to (a) London and (b) Manchester, indicating the sources from which the costs were met. [108379]

Mr. Charles Clarke

The Metropolitan and Greater Manchester Police forces inform me that manpower costs of policing the visit of Mike Tyson were met within current resources. The Metropolitan police estimate net additional costs of approximately £9,700 for Mr. Tyson's visit to Brixton. Greater Manchester police charged costs of £21,713 in respect of policing the boxing match and venue to the event organisers, Manchester Evening News Arena.
