Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many members of the security service, Home Office officials or police officers have travelled to Paris following the recent terrorist attacks there to be briefed in detail on the incident and to draw potential conclusions for the protection of the public in the United Kingdom.

As my Right Honourable Friend, the Home Secretary, said in her statement to the House on 14th January 2015 (Hansard columns 869-871); UK police and Security Services are working closely with their French counterparts to support them in the response and to draw out all the possible lessons for the UK following the terrible attacks that we saw in Paris. It would not be appropriate to comment in further detail on an ongoing investigation.
