HC Deb 05 February 1964 vol 688 c172W
112. Mr. Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is satisfied with the present state of the law governing arrangements for the recovery by the police of bodies from the sea and the extent to which other organisations co-operate in this task; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Woodhouse

I am not aware of any legal provisions on this matter. The police usually undertake the task in waters adjacent to their areas, and I am assured that they normally receive generous co-operation from other organisations.
