Michael Dugher – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Michael Dugher on 2015-11-10.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy that police officers be assigned to support all Royal British Legion Remembrance parades.
Mike Penning
The Home Office does not hold the information requested. The police have never had a policy of routinely attending remembrance parades. Decisions on the operational deployment of resources are matters for Chief Constables, in association with Police and Crime Commissioners. There are no plans for the Home Office to issue guidance to the police on this matter.
