I have recently been approached by constituents asking me to sign an
Early Day Motion (EDM) calling for a new Royal Commission on policing.
It is my policy to never sign EDMs, as apart from costing taxpayers
unnecessary amounts of money, they rarely achieve anything.
However, the points my constituents raised are of concern to me.
We need to ensure that our police forces are given the appropriate
resources to be able to keep the public safe and function effectively in the
long term.
I will in fact soon be meeting with the Policing Minister and
will be sure to raise these concerns with him.
