Police: Demonstrations
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the cost of policing public protests in England in each year between 2015 and 2025.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Home Office does not routinely collect information on these areas of police costs.
However, we are exploring ways for the police to improve cost recovery for managing private events, including football matches, and are working with stakeholders to understand the costs involved.
