Home Department written question – answered at on 8 December 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information her Department holds on the budget of the SO14 Royalty Protection Unit of the Metropolitan Police for the most recent financial year for which figures are available.
holding answer
We are unable to provide detailed information on the budget provided to SO14 Royalty Protection Unit of the Metropolitan Police. To do so would compromise the integrity of the security arrangements in place for members of the Royal Family.
We can provide details of the aggregate Home Office Dedicated Security Post (DSP) Grant which provides funding for police officers and staff who carry out protection duties. These duties relate to the protection of members of the Royal Family and their residences; and the protection of public figures, and their official and private residences. In 2010-11, £128 million was spent under the DSP Grant.
