It was the Conservatives who brought back The Bill

Speaking ahead of a visit to the Conservative target seat of East Renfrewshire tomorrow, Francis Maude, Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office, says:

"There are 1,000 more police in Scotland, thanks to the Conservatives.

"The SNP were ready to backtrack on their manifesto promise - but the Conservatives forced them to increase police numbers by 1,000 as the price for us supporting their budget.

"Neither Labour nor the Lib Dems wanted to increase police numbers and both voted against it.

"It was the Conservatives who fought to make Scotland safer.

"It was the Conservatives who brought back The Bill."
