That this House notes with concern the number of assaults on police officers in the UK; further notes that recent figures show that 60 assaults a day take place across the UK; pays tribute to the role played by the police who help to maintain the peace, fight crime and are often called upon to face dangerous and violent situations; and calls on the Government to work with the judiciary to ensure that a zero tolerance stance is adopted when dealing with those who assault police officers.
