HC Deb 23 June 1966 vol 730 c878
13. Mr. Kenneth Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in determining the amalgamation of police forces, he had regard to regions as defined by other Departments.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I had regard to all relevant factors. In only one case will the result of an amalgamation be to cause a single police area to straddle two economic planning regions.
