Federation Of Yorkshire And The Humber Police Forces

EDM number 1781 in 2005-06, proposed by John Grogan on 08/03/2006.

That this House supports the formation of a federation of the four police authorities in Yorkshire and the Humber; believes this option would allow greater collaboration between forces on protective services whilst maintaining their independence and existing well supported structures of accountability to local people; recognises that the four different forces in Yorkshire and the Humber face very different challenges; and therefore believes that the federal option rather than a forced merger is the one which is likely to command most support across the region and ensure high quality policing in both urban and rural areas.

This motion has been signed by a total of 13 MPs.
