Responded: 4 November 2021
The Police Federation of England and Wales can confirm that we hold this information.
Communication between the Police Federation and Labour MPs has been pre or post meeting in December 2020 of the National Chair, John Apter, and Metropolitan Police Federation Chair, Ken Marsh. They related to briefing materials on the topics covered (seeking support to publicly condemn and, where possible, ban marches and demonstrations in London as increasing numbers of police officers were reporting sick with Covid-19 or were self-isolating).
