Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what representations she has received from Welsh Assembly Ministers about the (a) Dyfed Powys Police Helicopter and (b) National Police Air Service.

I have not received any representations from Welsh Ministers or Assembly Members about the Dyfed Powys helicopter or the National Police Air Service (NPAS). NPAS is an operational policing co-ordination initiative independent of the Home Office; but we support the Strategic Board in their work to provide an effective and efficient air service in England and Wales.
