Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether public funds are used for security at private residences or non-official activities of members of the Royal Family, and, if so, what is the justification for using them for this purpose.

The government’s protective security system is rigorous and proportionate. It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, including expenditure, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals’ security.
