Jim Cunningham – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jim Cunningham on 2016-02-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate her Department has made of the cost of policing operations for sporting events across the UK in each of the last five years; and if she will make a statement.

Mike Penning

The Home Office does not routinely collect the cost of policing operations in England and Wales. It is an operational decision for Chief Officers, working with their Police and Crime Commissioner, to determine how their available resources are used according to local priorities.
