And this is why, I am in Leicestershire, I do not support these calls by some for a national licencing authority. If your force area is poor, inefficient, tardy, then complain to your force's PCC and don't seek by calling for a national system to burden those of us in areas where the process is done efficiently with a national body that would likely be a levelling down of standards and not a raising up....and no longer locally accountable. Because that local accountability will be lost. I think maybe our Scotland based SD Members might wish to comment?
