A routine morning and then into PMQs. Police funding and knife crime were very much on the radar. There is no doubt, in my view, that we need more officers, and I have consistently said so for a long time. A working lunch at my desk and then up to CR19 for our weekly European Scrutiny Committee. Again, it was in private, but I can say that we signed off our report on the progress surrounding Brexit so far. It's due to be published soon. I spoke to Jim Cregan in the afternoon to confirm he was coming to the Apprenticeship Fair's sixth outing at Weymouth College. What a charming and inspirational man Jim is, and one who will go down a storm on Friday. His iced coffee company has now been running for eight years and is now bursting into a range of outlets around the country. Government business collapsed mid afternoon, so I left the office for Dorset at about 1730.
