The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what is the cost to the public purse of security and policing in relation to Chequers.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Government does not disclose detailed information on protective security arrangements at specific sites, including funding levels. This reflects a long-standing policy designed to protect the integrity and effectiveness of security measures, as the release of such information could increase vulnerabilities and compromise site security.
