Except in a very few cases related to terror or fraud or being at the border you have a right to a solicitor before answering questiins. Furthermore if the police don't allow you one then they would be breaking the law.

Ok? That doesn't contradict anything I said.

The key is that asking for a solicitor is not an unreasonable delay.

So the basic advice not to talk to the police holds.
