George Osborne MP, Tatton did not vote.
The majority of MPs voted against real-terms protection for the police budget.
The motion rejected by the majority of MPs in this vote was:
- That this House
- recalls that the Chancellor announced in the Autumn Statement 2015 that there would be real-terms protection for police funding;
- notes that, based on the scale of cuts proposed, police budgets will fall by between nine and ten per cent over four years in real terms;
- further notes that the failure to provide real-terms protection for the police budget will lead to further cuts in police numbers in addition to the 18,357 police officers already lost since 2010;
- notes that the inclusion of cybercrime in crime statistics will show that crime has doubled;
- notes the heightened threat of a terrorist attack in the UK and the operational role of neighbourhood police in preventing such an attack; and
- calls on the Government to honour the Chancellor’s statement to the House and provide real-terms protection for the police budget.
