Text

The police are part of the Justice Department. I do not understand why the Minister keeps firing PSNI issues off her table to the Chief Constable. There are clear concerns in my constituency that custody suites that are being upgraded are in close proximity to operational policing matters. I am pretty sure that concerns have been raised with the Justice Minister about the timescales and how those custody suites are operating, not least the fact that it adds cost to our policing service.
