Conclusion (the committee's words)
We asked the Ministry and HMCTS to set out the operational impact of increasing police numbers. The Ministry told us that this is inherently uncertain given it does not know how the new police officers will be deployed and the type of cases they will pursue. However, it did anticipate an increase in demand for both HMCTS and HM Prison and Probation Service. The Ministry welcomed recent measures announced in the spending round for both courts and probation as recognition of the need to fund downstream parts of the system.48
