Police Grant

Proceeding contribution from Steve Rotheram (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 February 2017. It occurred during Debate on Police Grant.

The hon. Gentleman is talking about confidence in the police. Just last night in my constituency, a convicted murderer, who was taken to the local hospital in a taxi, absconded because a taxi was called to return him back to prison. Is not the fact that police numbers are a factor in how prisoners are taken to and from appointments outside prison part of the problem of confidence that the hon. Gentleman is talking about, and do we not need a review of police numbers?
