HC Deb 03 November 1983 vol 47 c422W
37. Mr. John Hunt

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, following the opening of the new Metropolitan police station in Orpington, there are any plans for additional policing in the Biggin Hill area.

Mr. Hurd

The new police station at Orpington will become operational on 12 December. I understand from the Commissioner that from that date the police strength of the Biggin Hill station will be increased from 11 to 17 officers.
