Oral Question to the Prime Minister regarding Policing in Norfolk

Speech by Norman Lamb on Wed 27th Oct 2004

Norman Lamb:

The Prime Minister will know that Norfolk police authority, along with many others, faces a serious funding shortfall next year. At the same time, the Home Office is imposing yet more bureaucratic burdens. Will the Prime Minister give a guarantee that front-line policing will not suffer as a result?

The Prime Minister:

I understand that there are record police numbers in Norfolk. That, of course, is a result of the Government's extra investment in policing. Of course we want that to be maintained. As well as providing record numbers of police not just in Norfolk but throughout the country, we are increasing the number of community support officers and support staff. This is all part of bringing back community policing for today's world, and I assure the hon. Gentleman that I want to see it extended, not curtailed.
