HC Deb 08 June 2004 vol 422 c342W
Mr. Michael Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what recent discussions he has had with the Irish Government regarding the effect upon police resources of travellers. [170132]

Ms Blears

There have been no discussions specifically on the effect on policing. However I understand that officials from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister are discussing the issue of Travellers with their counterparts in the Republic.
