Lord Inglewood

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will make arrangements for prisoners in police custody over the Christmas period to receive Holy Communion, if they so wish.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Home Office (Lord Belstead)

I am sure that chief officers of police will do whatever is reasonably practicable to ensure that prisoners' wishes in this regard are respected.
