HC Deb 19 October 1981 vol 10 c4W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will give the reasons why he will not move to appoint a Select Committee to investigate all matters connected with the recent series of riots and to ascertain what action Parliament should take to prevent recurrence of such incidents.

Mr. Pym:

I am satisfied that the House already has adequate means of considering these matters without the establishment of a further Select Committee.
