David Cameron defended himself during Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons when Labour Rhondda MP Chris Bryant accused him of breaking an election promise to protect frontline services. Bryant revealed the cuts affecting South Wales Police, but the Prime Minister said of the force's loss of 600 staff: "Next year they have to find a 5% cut that will take them back — not to some figure of the 1980s — [but] to the spending they had in 2007-08."
