Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the total cost was of the Independent Office for Police Conduct investigation into South Yorkshire Police response to child sexual exploitation cases, referred to as Operation Linden.
The Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC) published it’s report on Operation Linden on 22 June 2022. They have not yet compiled the total cost of the 91 investigations comprising this report.
The Director General of the IOPC will write to Sarah Champion MP in due course once the total cost is determined, and the Home Office will see that a copy of the letter is placed in the House library.
