HC Deb 06 March 1991 vol 187 cc215-6W
Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many additional uniformed police officers have been authorised to be added to the strength of the Strathclyde police force in each year from 1975 to 1990.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

None. Strathclyde regional council made only one application—in 1983—during this period for the Secretary of State's consent to an increase in the authorised police establishment of Strathclyde police. Consent was withheld on the ground that the force was being required by the council to operate substantially below its existing authorised establishment.

Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many crimes were(a) recorded and (b) detected by the Strathclyde police force in each year from 1975 to 1990.
