Police: Complaints

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many complaints she has received in the last two months from (a) police officers and (b) members of the public on her decision not to implement the tribunal's recommendation on the police pay award for 2008.
Answer

Home Office systems record letters and emails received by the Department from members of the public and MPs, but not, in a readily available way, whether the sender is a police officer. Between 6 December 2007 when the 2007 police officer pay award was announced to Parliament, and 5 February 2008, Home Office systems show that 1,660 letters and emails about police pay and allowances were received from members of the public and MPs.
