Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on Police Grant Report.


Police Grant Report

It strikes me that given the pressures that my hon. Friend has outlined, and the fact that a lot of people will sadly lose their jobs in the coming year, there may be people who are confident, able and willing to be employed by police authorities as civilians, but who would not be willing to become police officers. They could help to do a lot of jobs, provided that the budgets were available.
