HC Deb 01 May 1967 vol 746 c15W
Mr. Ron Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will seek powers to set up a national authority to assist the work done by the voluntary authorities and police in mountain and cave rescue.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I have received no representations from the voluntary associations and other authorities concerned that a statutory organisation is called for; but I will gladly consider any suggestions which my hon. Friend may care to send me.
