- Meeting date: 01 January 2001
Can you confirm newspaper reports that some police recruits are taking as long as 33 weeks to complete 18 week basic training courses because of a lack of available training places? If this is true, can you say whether or not you think this is an acceptable situation, explain how this situation arose and outline any plans that exist to remedy it? .
