Home Department
David Hanson (Delyn, Labour)
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department which police forces she expects to give assistance to the policing in London of (a) London 2012 Olympics events and (b) the Diamond Jubilee.
James Brokenshire (Old Bexley and Sidcup, Conservative)
The precise list of police forces expected to be involved in policing in London over the summer of 2012 is not finalised, but is likely to include most forces. Mutual aid is a common feature of major policing operations in the UK. Requests for mutual aid will be proportionate to the size and capacity of each force, and donor forces will be reimbursed in accordance with the prevailing arrangements.
