My hon. Friend raises a very important point and I wish Mr Campion well in his bid to represent his community as a PCC. We will soon be introducing legislation that will allow more collaboration and more help to be brought to the police, fire and ambulance services—that is the sort of thing we would expect.
Sir Simon Burns
Will my right hon. Friend enable PCCs to follow up complaints about policing made by the people they serve?
Mike Penning
That is exactly what we would like them to be doing. All too often, complaints go all the way through the system when they could actually be dealt with locally.
