The tables provided show the number of police officer and police staff joiners,
by joining type, for the Metropolitan Police Service from 2009/10 to 2013/14.
The tables include minority ethnic and female breakdowns.
Of the 79 people who provisionally accepted a place on the Metropolitan
Police’s innovative new programme Police Now, 16% are from an ethnic minority

Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
