Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 December 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Police Restructuring.
Police Restructuring
I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for confirming that I am one of the people who really cares, particularly about policing in my constituency. It is because I care that I have taken the trouble to consult local police leaders and it is clear to me, unlike to Conservative Members, that they are in favour of reform. Having spoken to them in detail, I know that they are completely opposed to the idea of electing local police chiefs, which would be a fast track to the politicisation of the police at a local level. Is the right hon. Gentleman really proposing that as a serious reform, or is it just a hangover from the last manifesto?
