Labour Party: Conferences

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much was given to the Labour Party for Party Political Conference Security Grant in each year since 2019.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Party Political Conference Security Grants funding arrangements were outlined in 2016 by the Home Office for the party in power and the main opposition party. These principles have been adhered to since and the Home Office has regular engagement with parties about security planning for party conferences.

The UK government’s security system is rigorous and proportionate. It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, including disclosure of costs, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect future security operations.
