BRADFORD West MP George Galloway is to challenge the Home Secretary to answer allegations made by the Police Federation in West Yorkshire about the effect of years of police cuts on the force’s performance.

The Federation has a campaign called Cuts have Consequences and Mr Galloway has asked Home Secretary Theresa May to “put back the resources stripped from the force.” He added: “It’s all very well lobbying for billions more for security services over terrorism, but what about the people who worry about their safety and security on the street?”
