§ Mr. Lathamasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is now in a position to announce a starting date for the rebuilding of Oakham police station.
§ Mr. Giles ShawThe Leicestershire police authority was given approval in November 1985 to start planning on a replacement police station at Oakham. It is not yet possible to say when building can begin; this will depend on the relative operational priority of the scheme compared with the many others awaiting a building start date and on the availability of capital resources in the years ahead. Schemes are normally given a building start date two to three years in advance; thus police authorities were notified in November 1985 of the schemes which can start in 1988–89.
