In response to West Midlands Police's announcement it will cut 416 PCSOs, Mike Penning, policing minister says: "In the West Midlands, police recorded crime has fallen by 15% since 2010. 

"The changes the government has made since 2010 have made it easier for the police to do their job by cutting red tape, scrapping unnecessary targets and giving officers the discretion to use their professional judgement. "Operational decisions such as the deployment of PCSOs are a matter for chief constables and police and crime commissioners, but there is no question that the police still have the resources to do their important work.”

Ian Austin's call is under his Government Departments Decentralisation Bill being presented to Parliament today, in which he also proposes moving Transport to Birmingham and Culture to Manchester. His idea is for departments to share buildings with other public services.

The MP claimed taxpayers would save £10 billion from the sale of expensive London offices plus an extra £725m annually thereafter from cheaper property and staffing costs, as well as catalysing development in towns and cities outside the capital.

Rebecca Kandare's illness and death was "preventable" prosecutor Jonas Hankin QC told Nottingham Crown Court.

"It is highly unlikely Rebecca would have died if she had been presented for medical care more than 24 hours before she collapsed," he said.

"The stark reality of this case is that the defendants placed a higher value on adherence to the church's teachings than their daughter's welfare."

Rebecca Kandare's parents failed to get her medical care, instead believing in the power of prayer, Nottingham Crown Court heard.

Three days before she died, the couple handed over her care to a church midwife, believing in her "supernatural healing powers".

A prosecutor told the court the eight-month-old weighed as much as a three-month-old when she died.
