Proceeding contribution from Viscount Hailsham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on Police Grant.


Police Grant

The right hon. Gentleman has been talking about officials and the formula. It would be helpful if he asked his officials to reflect on the fact that one of the problems in rural areas is the absence of the rapid deployment of reinforcements. That is not taken account of at all in the formula, with the consequence that, if an officer is out on duty and faces a violent situation, there is no back up, and that is a particularly exposed position in which to be.
