HC Deb 04 March 1987 vol 111 c599W
Mr. Mudd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is now prepared to increase the establishment figure of Devon and Cornwall constabulary.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

An increase of 17 police posts was approved in December 1986, meeting in full the authority's application for 1986–87. We are now considering a further application and hope to announce the outcome shortly.
