Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what financial resources the Government committed to support the (a) civilian and (b) military components of Operation Temperer in each of the last two years in the South Wales police force area.

Operation Temperer is a national contingency plan announced as part of the Strategic Defence and Security Review on 23 November 2015 by the, then, Prime Minster, David Cameron. It enables the police to draw on large scale military support in response to a significant terrorist incident. If the need to activate the Operation should arise then Government would meet the associated costs.
