Failings at Devon and Cornwall Police raised in the Commons

During questions to the Leader of the House of Commons today, Rt Hon Ben Bradshaw MP (Exeter, Labour) said: 

"Devon & Cornwall Police have been in special measures since 2022 after multiple failings and last week it was revealed seven current and former police officers are suing the Force for failing to deal with rapes, beatings and psychological torture by male colleagues over a number of years." He called for a statement to reassure the people of Devon and Cornwall and serving police officers that there would be a thorough investigation. 

Leader of the House Penny Mordaunt encouraged Mr Bradshaw to raise this issue at the next Home Office question time on February 26. She would make sure the Home Secretary was aware of the issue.
