Metropolitan Police
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will take steps with the Metropolitan Police to move officers and staff out of the capital whose responsibilities are (a) national and (b) not wholly London-focused.
Answered by Sarah Jones
Decisions on the location of officers and staff in the Metropolitan Police Service are an operational matter for the Commissioner. This includes resources that support existing national units.
Any future proposals on structural reform to policing in England and Wales will be set out in the upcoming white paper on police reform.
