Police: Financial Sustainability

Proceeding contribution from Nick Hurd (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 September 2018. It occurred during Urgent question on Police: Financial Sustainability.

We do; I agree and totally accept the argument that we need more resources for the police, which is exactly what we have delivered. That includes an additional £9.7 million for Hampshire police, whom I meet regularly. Across the country forces are using that money to recruit additional officers: 500 more here in London, 200-odd in Kent, 150-odd in Essex, 150-odd in Nottingham, 100 in West Mercia. Across the country

police forces are using the additional resources we are able to deliver, as a result of our successful stewardship of the economy since 2010, to deliver what the public want, which is more policing. We would not be able to do that under the Labour party’s policies.
