Police Court Time

EDM number 37 in 2012-13, proposed by David Morris on 09/05/2012.
Categorised under the topics of Administration of justice, Courts and Police.

That this House notes that there has been controversy about the cost of overtime payments for the police; further notes that many of these payments go to officers who are forced to come in on their daysoff to attend court for cases that are adjourned or do not have a court available; believes that this is both frustrating to the police officers concerned and costly to the taxpayer; further believes that reform of the courts could cut costs in a way that would gain support of the police; and calls on the court service to seriously consider changing practices to reduce this problem.

This motion has been signed by a total of 10 MPs.
