HC Deb 10 April 2002 vol 383 cc349-50W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many approved police candidates are awaiting their training start date; and if he will make a statement. [41597]

Mr. Denham

Records are not held centrally for police forces who send their recruits to National Police Training. However, there is no reported backlog of approved candidates waiting to start their training.

The Metropolitan police has reported that there are no specific delays in successful candidates being assigned to training courses.
