Written question asked by Louise Haigh (Labour) on Tuesday, 1 November 2016, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Friday, 4 November 2016 (named day). It was answered by Brandon Lewis (Conservative) on Friday, 11 November 2016 on behalf of the Home Office.


Orgreave

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to her Answer of 31 October 2016, Official Report, columns 645-6, when the operational order of the day will be released.

Answer

The Home Office does not hold the information which you have requested. Decisions on operational policing matters are a matter for the respective police force(s) involved and it is not common practice for their operational orders to be submitted to the Home Office or other Government departments.

As the Home Secretary told the House on 31 October, the Police & Crime Commissioner for South Yorkshire and South Yorkshire Police is considering how the force’s papers relating to Orgreave should be released.
