To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what has been the increase in the police manpower levels in Cambridgeshire since 1979.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

At the end of November 1991 police strength in Cambridgeshire was 1,247; an increase since 1979 of 176 officers, or 16 per cent. My right hon. Friend approved 16 new posts from 1 October 1991, six more from 28 November and a further 10 posts from 1 April this year.
