There are two voices in particular to which I would expect the Home Secretary to listen. One is the voice of Her Majesty’s inspectorate of constabulary, which has tabled a report; the other is the voice of the House, which will be heard in the debates that are required for any amalgamation initiated by the Home Secretary.
I think that there are strong arguments against the amendment, and I hope that it will not be pressed to a vote.
