Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Wright (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police and Justice Bill.


Police and Justice Bill

I understand the points that the Home Secretary makes about standardising powers for police community support officers. However, in Warwickshire, PCSOs are permitted to travel only by public transport, which significantly limits their effectiveness. Will he be cautious about extending their powers without extending the necessary training and equipment? He will understand that my constituents welcome PCSOs as an addition, but not as a replacement for full police officers.
