§ Mr. BeithTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many police officers, per force in total, there were in England and Wales on 31 March; how many there were in each case per head of population; and if he will make a statement. [84367]
§ Mr. BoatengThe information is not yet available. Once all the data from police forces has been received and validated, the statistics will be placed in the Library. I expect this information to be available in early June, on the basis of last year's timetable.
