To ask His Majesty's Government how many prisoners were held in police cells under Operation Safeguard in each week since 1 December 2022.
Lord Bellamy
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice
As of 11th January, no prisoners have been housed in police cells as part of Operation Safeguard since it was activated on 30th November 2022.
Police forces across the country use police cells occasionally in normal practice to house prisoners overnight, for example due to late sitting courts.
