Written Question
Police Service of Northern Ireland
Wednesday 11th June 2014

Asked by: Pat Glass (Labour - North West Durham)

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

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.

Answered by 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.
