The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of counter-terrorism training provided to frontline emergency services in non-metropolitan areas.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

Our emergency services regularly train together to test different scenarios. We keep our preparedness under constant review, and the response to a range of terrorist threats is exercised regularly at both local and national levels, allowing responder organisations to learn lessons and embed best practice.
