§ 24. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Newham North-West on 13 April, Official Report, c. 15, why, as there were only two police involved, he is unable to give the information required by calculation of officers' wage scales, the time spent, and the number of vehicles which were used; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RaisonIn his question answered on 13 April the hon. Member asked about three separate incidents each involving two police officers. The information that would be required to calculate the cost of the police involvement in the incidents is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
