HC Deb 22 May 1969 vol 784 cc118-9W
Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will obtain from the chief constable a report on the reasons for moving the police headquarters from Okehampton to Launceston.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

This matter has still to be considered by the police authority. The chief constable has recommended that Launceston should become the headquarters of the enlarged Launceston/Okehampton division because he considers that control and supervision of the division can be more effectively exercised there than from Okehampton. He proposes that there should be a sub-divisional headquarters, and certain other facilities, at Okehampton.
