Thames Valley’s Police and Crime Commissioner says the force was 'short changed' by nearly a million pounds for policing Donald Trump’s state visit to Windsor last year.
Matthew Barber says they couldn’t claim back costs for officer time, and is urging the Home Office to change what he calls “flawed” funding rules.
He is demanding that the Home Office think again about the flawed funding arrangements for these events of national significance.
The Home Office says the money will be recovered through standard procedures.
