§ 18. Mr. AllenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what request he has received for funding to enable the Nottingham police force to be brought up to strength; and what response he has made.
§ Mr. Peter LloydThe Nottinghamshire police authority did not seek an increase in establishment for 1991–92 following the 26 posts which my right hon. Friend approved for 1990–91. At the end of December the strength of the Nottinghamshire constabulary was 2,342, which is only two short of the authorised establishment.
