Claire Perry MP calls for Less Red Tape for Local Police
On the 7 March, Claire Perry, MP for the Devizes Constituency called for a reduction in the number of needless central inspections of local police forces.
Speaking during Home Office Questions, Claire asked the Home Secretary if she was aware that the Wiltshire Police Force has had 4 separate inspections by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in the last 14 months which have lasted three working weeks, cost the Force an estimated £50,000-£60,000 and not resulted in any meaningful recommendations and whether the government planned to reform this box-ticking regime.
Speaking after the parliamentary session Claire said:
"I was pleased to hear the Home Secretary's commitment to tackling the red tape that hampers the work of our police. She confirmed that the Policing Minister is working to reduce the bureaucratic burdens of the inspection regime. We all want our police visible and available to the public, out on the streets, not stuck behind a desk filling out Whitehall forms."
