Essex Police Diving Unit

EDM number 818 in 2001-02, proposed by Bob Russell on 06/02/2002.

That this House pays tribute to the excellent work carried out by the Essex Police Diving Unit; regrets the proposal to close the unit on the grounds of lack of financial resources; notes that Essex police disbanded its entire motor-cycle fleet and shut its mounted section in previous rounds of spending cuts; believes that the policing of Essex is diminished by the loss of such specialised units; and calls on the Government to increase levels of funding to enable Essex Police to provide the full range of policing activities which the community expects.

This motion has been signed by a total of 3 MPs.
