I have been contacted by a Harrow constituent, who says that he has become aware through Twitter, that the Metropolitan Police are heavily promoting a new cadet scheme aimed at teenagers. He would like to know how much money is being spent on this scheme by the Met Police and would like to know why they are inventing their own cadet force instead of working closely with the existing cadet forces which already receive government money. What is your response to this?
