To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he is taking steps to create a day of recognition for the service and sacrifice of police force personnel; and if he will make a statement.
Nick Hurd
The Minister of State, Home Department, Minister of State (London)
The Government deeply values the dedication and sacrifice of police force personnel up and down the country.
The Home Office fully supports a number of memorials, including the existing National Police Memorial Day, the UK Police Memorial and the annual Emergency Services Festival of Thanksgiving and the UK’s Emergency Services Day (999 Day). The Home Office does not currently plan to create a further day of recognition for the service and sacrifice of police force personnel.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
