(Cleethorpes) (Con):...Police
funding, in particular, has been widely welcomed by my
constituents. In recent years, Humberside Police has
managed to increase its numbers by more than 200, and there are a
further 97 pending in the next phase. Like constituents up and down
the country, my residents in Cleethorpes want to see visible
policing. I was in discussion with the superintendent only last
week, and I received assurances that that will be the case. I want
in particular to mention the retail trade, which it is fair to say
has been badly scarred by the £200 limit with respect to
shoplifting. I am delighted that my local force does not take that
as written in stone but uses some discretion in the way it meets
that challenge. I hope that is taken on board...
