Oral Answers to Questions

Jim Cunningham Excerpts

Monday 8th January 2018 Commons Chamber

[The Minister for Policing and the Fire Service (Mr Nick Hurd)]

The answer to an invitation to visit sunny Clacton-on-Sea is, of course, yes.

[Mr Jim Cunningham (Coventry South) (Lab)]

T3. Given cuts to police numbers and resources, how many police forces have notified the Home Office that they will not be pursuing certain types of crime?

[Mr Hurd]

I know the hon. Gentleman knows this, but the proposed funding settlement will lead not to cuts, but to increased investment of £450 million in our policing system, which will help police forces across the country to cope with the changing face of crime.
