ANSWERS BUSINESS, ENERGY AND INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY Civil Nuclear Constabulary: Operation Temperer Stephen Doughty: [108637] To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, How many Civil Nuclear Constabulary personnel have been deployed on Operation Temperer in each of the last three years. Richard Harrington: Operation Temperer was invoked for the first time following the terrorist incident at Manchester Arena in May this year, and then again in September following the terrorist incident at Parsons Green. Civil Nuclear Constabulary personnel were deployed on Operation Temperer on both occasions. The total number of CNC personnel deployed on Operation Temperer this year, including liaison officers, was 826. 432 officers were deployed in May, and 394 officers were deployed in September.
