He said he has spoken to the leadership team at Greater Manchester Police and 'had an assurance that there will be an investigation'.He told Sky News: "There's a broader issue isn't there here, about women's safety. Are women safe in custody? And that question needs an answer with regards to Greater Manchester Police.
