'Do the people of Suffolk really want to be thrown in with forces that are so very different and face vastly contrasting problems?'
David Ruffley MP will be holding a meeting on Tuesday 20 December with Hazel Blears, Minister of State at the Home Office, and other Suffolk MPs to discuss the restructuring of the region's police force.
Three options for a future structure have been put forward:
• A regional force covering all six counties in the East of England.
• Merging Suffolk Constabulary with Cambridgeshire and Norfolk Constabularies.
