Royal and VIP Executive Committee

Asked by Paul HolmesConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 22 October 2024UIN 9549

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has participated in discussions on the provision of escorted policing to private individuals who are not formally classified as protected individuals in its capacity as her representative on the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures since 5 July 2024.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The government’s protective security system is rigorous and proportionate. It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on protective security arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals’ security.

Decisions on security arrangements are independent operational decisions for the police.
