Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 March 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Policing in London.


Policing in London

I am grateful, Madam Deputy Speaker. The Conservative Front-Bench spokesman specifically said that his party's candidate would introduce an extra 440 officers, paid for out of a fund that does not exist. I was there when the hon. Member for Henley explained that and talked about an increase in funding through public relations from a budget that simply does not exist. Like all the protestations made by that Oxfordshire Member, these are magical figures. His budget for additional spending for buses was said to be £8 million yet the true cost was £110 million.
