MISUSE OF THE METROPOLITAN POLICE

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 27 June 2000

That this House expresses its concern at the use for political purposes of the Metropolitan Police, in particular the visit in March of this year by a Special Branch officer to the home of a British physician, Dr Misconi's name and address had been unwittingly supplied to the Foreign Office by the honourable Member for Glasgow, Kelvin as a would-be passenger on a proposed flight from London to Baghdad; notes the attendance by two Special Branch officers, taking notes and presumably names of those in attendance at the fringe meeting on the health situation in Iraq at the British Medical Association conference, addressed by the Member for Glasgow, Kelvin in the Abbey Community Centre in Great Smith Street on 26th June; and considers that whilst the use of the police for political purposes may be routine in some countries it should not become a feature of life in Great Britain.

FUNDING FORMULAE FOR RURAL POLICE FORCES

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 9 May 2000

That this House welcomes the news of the report on policing in rural areas produced by ORH Limited; notes its conclusion that it takes a police officer in a rural area three times as long to reach the scene of a crime or incident as a police officer in an urban area; further acknowledges its conclusion that current standard spending assessment formulae do not take sufficient account of the challenges and additional costs of policing rurally isolated locations; notes that many honourable Members representing rural constituencies have consistently called for the Government's acceptance of this problem; and calls on the Government to act on the recommendations of its own report, to rectify this inequality and to implement the necessary changes to funding formulae for rural police forces with all possible speed.
