Police Service of Northern Ireland

Volume 501: debated on Tuesday 1 December 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) how many (a) regular and (b) full-time reserve police officers there have been in each constituency in Northern Ireland in each year since 2001; (303465)

(2) what percentage of the budget of the Police Service of Northern Ireland is spent on administrative costs;

(3) how many police officers in Northern Ireland are assigned to duties other than front-line policing;

(4) how many attacks there have been on (a) police officers, (b) traffic wardens and (c) Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency workers in Northern Ireland in each year since 2005;

(5) how many disabled people are employed as (a) regular police officers and (b) full-time reservists in the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

These are operational matters for the Chief Constable. I have asked him to reply directly to the hon. Member, and copies of his letters will be placed in the Library of the House.
