I thank the Minister for her answer. I have always supported policing, and I have always wanted to stand up for our police force in Northern Ireland. They are the people who protect our communities and help to support people in them. The Minister outlined a number of things that she has been doing, and I appreciate that. In that context, therefore, does she agree that adequate funding and increasing police numbers would support and help to create better morale? Does she support the Chief Constable, a man who is passionate about his workforce and who is trying to invest in them and fight for them, who took steps to request more funding and support over the summer?
