Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of supporting Avon and Somerset Police to install a police custody suite in the new Horsey Lane police station in Yeovil.

Decisions regarding the police estate, including the provision and location of custody suites, are a matter for Chief Constables and directly elected Police and Crime Commissioners (or equivalents), who are best placed to determine local requirements based on operational demand, policing priorities and available resources.
