Police: Electric Vehicles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential relative needs of (a) urban, (b) suburban and (c) rural police stations in the context of the electrification of local police forces’ car fleets.
Answered by Sarah Jones
Decisions around the procurement and deployment of electric vehicles, as well as infrastructure to support them, is a matter for operationally independent Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners, or Mayoral equivalents.
We would expect decisions to be made with consideration to the needs of the force, their local community, and within their existing budget allocation.
