That is not a very wise thing for the hon. Gentleman to raise. As far as I am aware, in Nottinghamshire there are actually more than 200 more police officers than in March 1997, and more than 100 community support officers.

I am afraid that the only way for them to get more police and community support officers in Nottinghamshire is to vote Labour.
