HC Deb 26 May 1994 vol 244 c281W
Mr. Mike OBrien

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what management reorganisation plans are being considered by police authorities and constabularies; and if he will list the constabularies, the nature of the plans involved and the effect on police establishments, plus supernumeraries, in each case.

Mr. Charles Wardle

Some two thirds of forces are understood to have reorganised into locally managed, basic command units based on a single-tier management structure. Most other forces have completed, or are undertaking, reviews of their structure and organisation. Details of the nature of individual force restructuring plans and the effects on establishment levels are not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
