Monday 5th September 2016

Asked by: Chris Davies (Conservative - Brecon and Radnorshire)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to support policing in rural areas.

Answered by Brandon Lewis

It is an operational decision for individual Chief Constables to determine how their resources are deployed and it is for Police and Crime Commissioners to hold their forces to account, including on how they tackle the crimes that matter most to residents and businesses in rural and urban areas alike.
