Vital port could be at risk over police funding cuts

Cuts to police funding in Wales could create a security threat to one of the UK’s most important ports, an MP has warned.

In the wake of concerns about potential cuts at Dyfed- Powys Police, Stephen Crabb MP said port security at Milford Haven needed to be considered by the Police Minister when considering making cuts.

A quarter of the petrol and diesel used in the UK is shipped into the port in Pembrokeshire and in recent years it has also grown in significance as the entry point for liquefied natural gas from Qatar into the UK.
