Proceeding contribution from Aidan Burley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill.


Police reform and social responsibility Bill

Only two Members of the House could intervene and tell me who chairs their police authority, which tells us everything we need to know about their visibility. That is from MPs, not the public—we are supposed to know. These invisible police authorities are supposed to serve the public. That is the same public who have no idea who they are, no idea what they do, no idea how to contact them, and certainly no idea that they cost them £50 million a year.
