Cost of close protection in London

Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.25.046521

I note you seek access to the following information:

Who within the London area receives close protection and what was the cost per person protected within the past 12 months.

Decision

I have today decided to disclose some of the requested information.

Please find below information in pursuant to your request.

With regards to the first part of your request, as the MPS confirms that protection is afforded to the serving monarch, HM The King and current Prime Minister, this would therefore be applicable to when they are based in London.

In relation to the second part of your request where you seek the cost per person protected over the last 12 months, this information has been withheld as it is exempt from disclosure.
