HC Deb 18 March 2002 vol 382 c98W
Mr. Kaufman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the cost was to public funds of police protection for Ms Anne Robinson in Cirencester on 16 February; whether this cost was repayable by(a) Ms Robinson and (b) those who had invited her to Cirencester; and whether (i) Ms Robinson and (ii)) those who invited her have offered to repay this cost. [40326]

Mr. Denham

[holding answer 4 March 2002]: I understand from the Chief Constable of Gloucestershire that no specific request was made for police protection by Ms Anne Robinson or the organisers of the pro-hunting event that she attended in Cirencester on 16 February 2002. Gloucestershire police assigned a number of police officers to the event. Gloucestershire Police do not intend to claim costs from either Ms Robinson or the organisers of the event.
