Business question from John Leech (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 January 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Will the Leader of the House arrange for an urgent debate on the Floor of the House on police resourcing, especially in respect of Greater Manchester? The independent chairman of the police authority there is forecasting a shortfall of £26 million in 2008-09, but that does not take account of the need to find resources to pay for police community support officers. Without an urgent review of funding, further cuts in police numbers in Manchester may follow the 200 officers cut this year.
