The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment has she made of the potential benefit of establishing a joint Public order, firearms and tactics training centre in Cambridgeshire.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The use of police resources and the provision of training within police forces is a matter for Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners, who are operationally independent of government.
