HC Deb 30 June 1986 vol 100 c372W
Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make it his policy to accept a request from the West Yorkshire police authority for him to sanction the continued employment of 33 police cadets, appointed in the financial year 1985–86, and to permit the direct recruitment of a further 54 police cadets, of whom 15 would be financed by the Manpower Services Commission through the YTS; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Giles Shaw

My right hon. Friend has now approved the inclusion of 87 police cadets in the establishment scheme on the understanding that the actual intake will not exceed 10 per cent. of the force's annual recruitment.
