The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information her Department holds on the cost to police forces of responding to protest activity by Palestine Action since 1 January 2025.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Home Office does not routinely collect information on the costs of police operations.

It is a local decision for elected Police and Crime Commissioners and their equivalents, working with their chief officers, to determine how best to allocate resources.
