§ Mr. Charles WardleGovernment officials will be reviewing traffic policing duties in consultation with the police service and police authority representatives. My right hon. and learned Friend expects to receive a report on that exercise in the autumn. He will consider the impact of any changes proposed on operational efficiency and the quality of service that the police offer the community. He will also wish to consider how best to consult the public if any changes are proposed that would affect the police interface with the public.
