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

The hon. Gentleman is exactly right. People have paid the increases in council tax, they will pay the increase in council tax this year, and they are entitled to expect the service increases that they were promised as a consequence. One of those was the promise of 24,000 police community support officers in the Government’s manifesto, on which they have reneged. The Government should apologise to people for that.
