§ 2. Sir David Priceasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether there has been any increase in acts of terrorism within the Metropolitan Police area over the last 10 years.
§ Mr. WhitelawThere does not appear to have been an increase in crimes connected with terrorism in this period.
§ Sir David PriceHas my right hon. Friend any evidence, as has been suggested in the press, that a number of embassies in London have assisted a certain number of terrorists, both actively and passively? If so, what measures can he take in response to complaints against embassies for abusing their privileges?
§ Mr. WhitelawI have not read the evidence referred to by my hon. Friend. I should have to discuss this matter with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs.
