Mr. Heald

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the monthly wastage from each police force in England and Wales in 2000–01 to date, and the expected wastage in the remainder of 2000–01; and if he will make a statement. [146292]

Mr. Charles Clarke

Information about wastage is not collected centrally on a monthly basis; information about wastage for the six months to 30 September 2000 is contained in Home Office Statistical Bulletin 2/01, a copy of which has been placed in the Library.

No separate forecast has been made of wastage from each force for the remainder of 2000–01, but I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to him on 17 January 2001, Official Report, columns 275–76W, for a forecast for the whole of 2000–01.
