§ Lord Wallace of Saltaireasked Her Majesty's Government:
How many liaison officers from overseas police forces (including financial police) are in post in 186WA London; and from which countries they are drawn. [HL581]
§ Lord Williams of MostynCurrently, there are 25 liaison officers from overseas police forces in post in London. They are drawn from Australia, France, Germany, Italy, the USA, Canada, South Africa, Spain and Norway.
This figure is subject to minor fluctuation as new postings are agreed and others end. It does not include those who are posted to London in another primary capacity but who occasionally carry out functions similar to those of a police liaison officer, or Customs liaison officers.
