It's great news for Londoners that, under plans from this Conservative Government, we are going to see an increase in police officer numbers on our streets.
Today, I asked the Home Secretary to assure me that the London Borough of Sutton will receive its fair share of these new officers, given the continued incidence of catalytic converter theft, vehicle-related crime, antisocial behaviour and burglaries in Carshalton and Wallington.
I was pleased to hear the Metropolitan police has been allocated an additional 1,369 new officers. Its funding has increased as well, by £193 million, and that this is money for the frontline.
