I would like to particularly acknowledge the immense bravery and selflessness of our front-line police officers. Over the last few weeks, I've had the privilege of meeting and chatting with a number of officers here in Parliament, and last night I visited them out on the forecourt to thank them and to hear their accounts of the day. They told me how police had all manner of makeshift weapons thrown at them, from chairs and road cones to bottles and paving stones. For some, it resulted in broken bones, and they had abuse screamed into their ears and fire extinguishers unloaded into their faces, and at least seven officers have been hospitalised. Around 80 brave new recruits graduated from Police College and immediately began their very first assignment in uniform, restoring order to our capital. For one young officer I spoke to last night, yesterday was just her second day on the job. I sincerely hope she has a long career where those scenes are never repeated again.
