HC Deb 15 October 2001 vol 372 c926W
Mr. Hoyle

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the advantages and disadvantages of the introduction of a police force based on local authority district boundaries. [6079]

Mr. Denham

We have no present plans for the alteration of police areas.

Forces based on local authority districts would be unable economically to provide the full range of police services and the capacity to respond to major incidents.
