Mr. Rees-Daviesasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps have been taken by the Metropolitan Police to provide suitable rooms and equipment at Scotland Yard and in their other main police stations to enable recordings to be taken of interviews both for the advantage of police administration and for the questioning of witnesses and suspected persons; and what are the proposals for improving the system.
