§ Mr. F. GRAYasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the comments of Mr. Justice Avory upon the work of the police in the case of Rex v. Mason; whether he is aware that the provincial police when called upon to rely upon the co-operation of the Criminal Investigation Department are frequently dissatisfied with the efficiency of the co-operation; and whether, in the interests of the Metropolitan police, he will initiate an inquiry?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANAs this question arises out of a case which is now pending before the Court of Criminal Appeal, I should prefer to reserve any statement I may have to make. Perhaps the hon. Member will repeat his question at a later date.
