§ Mr. MacleanTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list for each police force in England and Wales the training which has been given on operation of the new police personnel procedures which come into effect on 1 April. [70579]
§ Mr. BoatengThe Training Support section of the National Police Training organisation has delivered half day seminars to appropriate members of all police forces (including "non-Home Office" forces) in England and Wales to inform them of the new procedures, and additionally have run two-day workshops which were attended by delegates from 41 police forces. The workshops were aimed particularly at force trainers to equip them to train members of their forces. The individual forces concerned are identified in the table. The national training was completed in January 1999 and forces are now engaged in training their personnel. Each force is responsible for its own training in terms of its nature and scope and, while all officers are understood to be receiving some information, police managers will naturally require more than police constables.
