Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress has she made in procuring a new firearm to replace the Heckler and Koch G36 for Cambridgeshire Constabulary.

The Home Office does not procure or proscribe services to Police forces. It is a matter for each Force to assess and procure services proportionate to its needs to provide effective policing for their area as they are best placed to understand local needs and priorities.
