HC Deb 24 April 1986 vol 96 c188W
39. Mr. Andrew MacKay

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many representations he has received concerning his promised autumn review of manning levels in the Thames Valley police force.

Mr. Giles Shaw

Several of my hon. Friends have expressed support for a further increase in the authorised establishment of the Thames Valley Police. My right hon. Friend will take account of their views when he considers in the autumn the possibility of a further increase for Thames Valley; 370 additional police posts have already been approved for the force since May 1979.
