Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour). It was answered by Lord Henley (Conservative) on Wednesday, 2 November 2011.
Police: Station Closures
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many police stations have been closed since May 2010.
- Answer
-
My Lords, this information is not collected centrally. Decisions about resources are, rightly, matters for chief constables to take locally with their police authorities. What is important is how visible and available the police are. We want to see police officers on the streets, preventing and cutting crime, rather than behind their desks. Modern policing reaches people through many means, not just through police stations.
