PEMBROKESHIRE police have robust plans in place to deal with any potential terror attacks on Milford Haven's energy industry.

That's according to Dyfed-Powys Police Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Dafydd Llywelyn who said extra firearms officers had been recruited and were now based at hubs ready to protect the public "at, for example, Milford Haven Port and waterway."

Mr Llywelyn acknowledged the refinery and LNG facilities based around the Haven are key infrastructure sites, and as such a potential target, but he stressed officers had "the capability" to protect the public.

Although Mr Llywelyn did not reveal the locations of the armed police hubs, he said they were now able to deploy firearms officers quickly to any part of the force area.

The issue of responding to a terror attack was brought up at the recent police and crime meeting.

The PCC was responding to a question from Carmarthenshire councillor Jim Jones

Mr Jones had asked: "Given the high number of potential targets within the large geographical area covered by Dyfed-Powys Police, has the commissioner discussed with the chief constable what arrangements the force has in place to respond to such attacks?

"Assuming those discussions have occurred, is the commissioner satisfied that those arrangements are sufficiently robust to protect the public as far as possible, no matter where or when such an incident might occur?"

Mr Llywelyn replied: "In terms of the reassurance, the answer is yes."

He added: "There has been an uplift in the number of firearms officers.

"We have a duty to ensure we have the capability to protect the public."

Milford Haven's two LNG terminals are capable of supplying around 30% of the UK's gas requirements.
