Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 31 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on Police.


Police

I accept that the Minister will come to police community support officers in a moment, but is he aware that Norfolk constabulary is trying very hard indeed to roll out the safer neighbourhoods partnership scheme, which has had a significant impact in reducing crime in Norfolk, particularly petty crime? That is critically dependent on the 280 PCSOs promised by the Department. The figure has been reduced, which means that either the scheme is at risk or Norfolk will have to increase the precept, thus risking capping. What advice can the Minister give Norfolk?
