I cannot see how it can easily happen for a few years. In Wales, we have 4 police authorities and are exactly same as England at present.

But the 4 police commissioners have just been elected for a fixed term and, if the 4 forces were merged in one, which three would be sacked?

No, it will be left alone till after 2015 election and then it is up to the Government we elect (which will be a Coalition of all the talents - Miliband, Galloway and Farage)

OneFoot, it is too soon to say whether the Scottish OneForce will be successful. I say give it a full 12 months to see what if any problems arise

The Chief Constable of Scotland's new national police service has suggested that the merger of forces could be emulated in England and Wales.

Steve House told the BBC it was unsustainable to maintain 43 separate police forces south of the border.

Mr House said: "My personal view is that structural change is inevitable down south."

Eight forces are being combined to form Police Scotland which will take over the country's policing on 1 April.

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
