Unlikely that Scottish police will be called to the North, says Scottish Police head

The head of the Scottish Police Federation has said that while it is possible, it is not probable that Scottish police would be called upon to operate in Northern Ireland.

Calum Steele was responding to reports at the weekend that under contingency plans drawn up by the British government, around 300 Scottish police would be deployed to support the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) as a preliminary step in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
