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


Police

I agree. The consequence of the so-called flexibility that the Minister mentioned is the withdrawal of the promise of 171 PCSOs in Sussex, or 8,000 nationally—4,000 in the so-called respect areas that the Government announced only a week ago. Chief constables throughout the country were busy making promises to communities about the additional policing that they believed that they could provide. They will now be unable to do that.
