Mr. Willie W. Hamilton
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis about the total cost to public funds of the police raid on the British Broadcasting Corporation's premises in Glasgow on 31 January and 1 February.
Mr. Hurd
I understand from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that the additional cost to the Metropolitan Police of executing the search warrant for the BBC premises in Glasgow is estimated at about £2,500. The cost to Scottish police forces is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland.
