Text

I share the Minister's optimism about the pay settlement for the police, and I hope that we are both right to have that optimism. My question goes much wider, however, because it is about police funding as a whole. We all know about the pressures that policing faces at the moment. Is she as optimistic that something can be done to resolve some of the outstanding issues, in particular the big-ticket items that have featured in the media most recently?
