Hundreds of Police Officers may lose their jobs as Scotland Yard hurries to save £20m, the Evening Standard has reported.

Plans have been announced for civilians to take the jobs of 400 uniformed custody officers, as part of a bid to save £67m in the next financial year. It is also rumoured that the Metropolitan Police force was considering cutting frontline jobs, as a last resort.

Senior officers are also drawing up plans to merge departments such as HR and finance across boroughs to make further savings.

Female job seekers, including those looking for London jobs , are benefiting from current labour market demands, it has been claimed. According to John Philpott, chief economist at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, there was a quarterly increase in part-time employment for women for the three months ending in August. Mr Philpott suggested that this rise is due to a upturn in part-time employment and temporary jobs, which are often given to female workers. He commented: "Women are the main beneficiaries of a labour market where part-time work is rising while full-time jobs continue to be cut." The expert went on to say that the CIPD predicts the rate of male unemployment will exceed ten per cent in 2010.
