HC Deb 27 October 1999 vol 336 c899W
16. Miss McIntosh

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what discussions he has had with the Welsh Executive on policing needs over the millennium period. [94092]

Mr. Paul Murphy

I understand that there have been liaison meetings between the National Assembly for Wales and local service providers, including the police services, in the interests of co-ordinating activities at the local level.

However, I have not had any discussions with the National Assembly for Wales on policing needs over the millennium period. Police issues are a matter for my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary, and millennium preparations in Wales are the responsibility of the National Assembly.
