Proceeding contribution from John Leech (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 31 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on Police.


Police

As my hon. Friend rightly says, such a loss would be on top of the 200-odd officers whom we have already lost this financial year. Michael Todd said that we required a minimum of 8,000 officers, but we now have fewer than that. Does my hon. Friend agree that, if we lose up to a further 600 officers, as he has estimated, the total number of officers would be closer to 7,000, rather than 8,000?
