§ Sir Eldon Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why the National Reporting Centre has been re-named the Mutual Aid Co-ordination Centre; and if, to avoid confusion, he will now revise the initials MACC that now apply to military aid to the civil community.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggThe title was changed to the Mutual Aid Co-ordination Centre as a result of a recommendation by the Association of Chief Police Officers following its review of the policing of the NUM dispute. I do not consider there is likely to be confusion over the change of title.
