POLICE — RECRUITMENT
189. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS to the Minister for Police:
I have a supplementary question. Given that the minister has
answered no part of the question, will she at least admit that she did defer
the recruitment of 70 police officers by seven months, even if she will not
answer how the rest of the $28 million worth of cuts were made?
