Handy, as you are bored, just for you I put "Nick Herbert 97%" into google and found;
Police Grant Debate · Media Centre · Nick Herbert
On capital funding, I have carefully considered the consultation responses and have decided to top-slice the Home Office police capital allocation to support the establishment of the National Police Air Service. That service will give all forces access to helicopter support 24 hours a day, 365 days year, in contrast with the current system in which some force's helicopters are grounded for days at a time while being repaired. It will mean that 97% of the population of England and Wales will remain within 20 minutes' flying time, and it will save the police service £15 million a year when fully operational.
So there you go. You are correct.
If that was your post, all that I would be able to add would be...
....as long as that 97% of the population wasn't either on holiday or temporarily relocated due to the tourism industry
