§ 69. Sir J. Duncanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he is taking to increase the amount of publicity given to encourage people, especially businessmen, to protect their own property, thus preventing the crime of theft, as is suggested by the Inspector of Constabulary for Scotland in his Annual Report.
§ Mr. N. MacphersonThe Government information services provide short films for use on television, some of which are available to police forces for showing in local cinemas. Advice and warnings about the prevention of crime are broadcast from time to time on B.B.C. sound services.
These arrangements supplement the work of local police forces, who are continually developing the use of all appropriate means of publicity to educate the public to protect their own property.
