§ Mr. Harry GreenwayTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department which London boroughs are not members of the local police consultative committee; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter LloydFive London borough councils have refused to nominate representatives to their local police-community consultative group: Brent, Ealing, Hackney, Haringey and Lambeth.
We deplore the fact that these five groups are obliged to operate without the support of their local council and without the resources which other councils make available. I hope that they will reconsider their position. The fact that these groups nevertheless operate effectively reflects great credit on all of those involved.
