HC Deb 16 March 2000 vol 346 c277W
Mr. Peter Robinson

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what kind of protection has been afforded to the members of the Parades Commission since its establishment; and what has been the cost of providing protection to members of the Commission over the past 12 months. [113831]

Mr. Ingram

It is the long standing policy both of this Government and previous Governments that we do not discuss the security measures provided to individuals or groups. The cost of installing and maintaining security measures for members of the Parades Commission over the period in question was £74,004.96.
