§ Captain Kerbyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether confidential information regarding the criminal history of convicted persons is to be made available to retired Metropolitan police officers who are to be employed in the Post Office Investigation Branch in a new Civil Service grade; and what amendments to Police Regulations he envisages in this connection.
§ Mr. BrookeThe disclosure of information from police records is a matter for the chief officer of the police force concerned. This is not a matter covered by Police Regulations, and the second part of the Question does not therefore arise.
