HC Deb 30 June 1988 vol 136 cc333-4W
32. Rev. Ian Paisley

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement about the proposed closure of police stations around the Ballymena district.

Mr. Stanley

The deployment of police manpower, including the location of police stations, is a matter for the Chief Constable in consultation with the Police Authority. Operational requirements are kept continuously under review, but I understand it is not planned to close any RUC stations in the Ballymena area in the immediate future.
