<p>There have been no additional costs to Parliament. The additional security staff
fall into two categories, the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) and private security
provision for the broadcasters. The resources for the police officers who are part
of the wider MPS response to Brexit do not fall within the contractual arrangement
between MPS and Parliament, therefore Parliament is not paying any extra for policing
these protests. Private security provision for the broadcasters is contracted by various
broadcasters on Abingdon Green, which Parliament does not pay for.</p>
