Business of the House

Will the Leader of the House reorganise the business programme so that we can discuss the amalgamation of the police forces next week? He must understand that there is a deep anxiety in the House about that. In my constituency, there is very robust opposition to the suggestion that the Lincolnshire police force should be grouped with adjoining forces, because it is felt that that will lead to prejudice against rural areas. The House needs to discuss this matter on the Floor of the House, with a vote, immediately.
