Police cuts: David Cameron tried to save constituency stations
David Cameron privately lobbied to stop the closure of police stations in his constituency as the force tried to find £60m of savings, the BBC has learnt.
The disclosure has prompted Labour to accuse him of "jaw-dropping hypocrisy".
Number 10 said Mr Cameron had acted in his capacity as a local MP who believed Thames Valley Police could make savings without affecting front-line services.
This week it emerged Mr Cameron, MP for Witney in Oxfordshire, is involved in a row over cuts with the county council.
