HC Deb 29 June 1981 vol 7 cc239-40W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, having regard to the fact that, following increases in pay and improvements in conditions, the numbers of police have increased but that nevertheless, the commissioner's report for the Metropolis shows a great increase in all forms of criminal activity, he will cause an investigation to be made into the relationship between these factors and into all other related aspects.

Mr. Mayhew

No; my right hon. Friend knows that the Commissioner keeps under constant review the effective use of his resources to meet the force's many responsibilities.
