Proceeding contribution from Chris Ruane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 31 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on Police.


Police

Would the hon. Gentleman put those so-called cuts in historical perspective? Is it true that the previous Conservative Government cut the number of police officers by 1,000? Was that cut the result of rising, static or falling policing expenditure? In contrast, in the past 10 years under Labour, an extra 14,000 officers have been provided.
