HC Deb 04 August 1966 vol 733 c155W
Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to ensure that county boroughs have an effective say in the organisation and management of amalgamated police forces.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

The Police Act, 1964, provides that combined police authorities shall include representatives of the constituent police areas. The exact basis of representation in any particular case is primarily a matter for local agreement.
