§ Mr. HansonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the impact of the 1995–96 police grant allocation on recruitment of police, special constables and graduate recruits for North Wales police.
§ Mr. MacleanThe responsibility for the recruitment of police officers, special constables and graduate recruits to the police lies solely with the chief officer of the police force concerned. No assessment of the impact of the 1995–96 grant allocation on recruitment for North Wales police has been undertaken centrally.
