Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many police officers from (a) England and Wales, (b) Scotland and (c) non-geographic forces were deployed to support the Police Service of Northern Ireland in each of the last five years.
The Home Office does not centrally hold the information requested.
However, on 4 September 2019, the Deputy Chief Constable for the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) stated, in evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee, that PSNI have not had recourse to request mutual aid from other police forces in the UK since 2013.
