force 'inevitable'
Richard Balls
"A combined East Anglian police force serving 2.2 million people in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire began to look a certainty last night. The super-force looked inevitable as police authority chiefs from the three counties jointly wrote to Home Secretary Charles Clarke asking for money to set up a project team to investigate the plan. Sources told the EDP that amalgamation will go ahead and that the blueprint could be used by the Home Office to set the tone for mergers among other forces around the country."
