§ Mrs. Jegerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposals he has received concerning the possible closure of the police station in Tottenham 487W Court Road; and what consultation has taken place with local people.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesNone. The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis is currently studying local policing arrangements in the Metropolis, including the future of existing police stations. It is for the Commissioner, not for me, to take decisions about the future of stations as operational matters are primarily involved. No firm decisions have yet been taken and the Commissioner has given an assurance that before any changes are made he will consult those concerned, including the local authorities in the Metropolitan Police district.
