Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Kimball (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 23 March 2006.
Police: Female Officers
- Question
- My Lords, I thank the Minister for that reply. Without being slightly churlish, however, I feel that it lacks a certain sympathy. All the speculation about amalgamation is unsettling for lady officers. They play a vital part in the work of the force, and it is time that the question of amalgamation was laid to rest so that they can get on with the business of arresting criminals.
- Answer
-
My Lords, I assure the noble Lord that we understand that any change of any institution is unsettling for officers, no more so for women than for men. We have real progress in female advancement through the service. We hope that, if the reorganisation goes well, there will be even greater opportunities for a more equitable balance between male and female officers.
