Pat Glass – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Northern Ireland Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Pat Glass on 2014-06-04.

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what steps she has taken to ensure that the Police Service of Northern Ireland has adequate resources to ensure a peaceful marching season.

Mrs Theresa Villiers

The issue of police resources is primarily a matter for the Northern Ireland Executive. However, I have regular discussions with the Chief Constable and David Ford concerning police resources.

The additional £231 million funding provided to the PSNI by the Government for national security matters releases resources to assist with the policing of matters such as parading and public order.
