CONTRIBUTION OF SPECIAL CONSTABLES

Early day motion 2096, tabled 11 October 2007 by Bob Spink (Conservative). Signed by 48 members.

That this House congratulates and thanks special constables on the work they do serving communities across Britain with dedication and professionalism; believes that the personal sacrifices made by individuals who serve as special constables deserve greater acknowledgement; therefore warmly welcomes the National Specials Weekend on 27th and 28th October; and calls on the Government and police forces to redouble their efforts to recruit more special constables and to ensure that the conditions of work for special constables are both as safe and as generous as possible.
