Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will meet with the hon. Member for Denton and Reddish, the hon. Member for Stalybridge and Hyde and the hon. Member for Ashton under Lyne to discuss central government police resourcing to the Tameside division.

Home Office Ministers have regular meetings as part of the process of policy development and delivery. I expect to engage with all Police and Crime Commissioners and Chief Constables, including the Mayor of Greater Manchester, to discuss my programme to better understand the impact of changing demands on the sector and what more can be done to improve productivity and efficiency.

I am also happy to meet with Members of Parliament to discuss local policing issues at their request.
