§ Mr. Ness Edwardsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the Chief Constable concerned about the circumstances in which detectives of the Mid-Wales Constabulary interviewed a young man of 16 years of age on his employer's premises, which was followed the next day by the dismissal of the youth; and if he will send a circular to chief constables advising them to end this practice.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsThe Chief Constable of the Mid-Wales Constabulary has told me that he is causing the circumstances to be investigated by a senior officer from another division of the force. It would not be proper for me to comment further at this stage, but I will write to my right hon. Friend when I have heard further from the Chief Constable.
