Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse for policing (a) national and (b) regional marches in relation to the Israel-Hamas conflict since 7 October 2023.

The Government is committed to supporting the police in the robust use of their existing powers to prevent the incitement of hatred, disorder and disruption.

The management of protests, including the resourcing is an operational matter for the police.
