§ Dr. CableTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are the(a) training and (b) cost implications of retraining officers moved to new posts as a consequence of the tenure policy to be implemented by the Metropolitan police service. [3969]
§ Mr. MichaelThe Commissioner informs me that there will be no increase in the Metropolitan Police's training budget as a result of the introduction of the new tenure policy. Any additional demands for training will be met within existing budgets. The majority of officers who transfer under the policy will do so to another police station and carry out the same function in a different environment. Those officers will therefore not require additional training.
