§ Mr. Whitakerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will make a statement on the success and the present and future progress of neighbourhood policing schemes; and when such a scheme will be introduced in Hampstead.
§ Mr. Elystan MorganThe particular system of policing known as neighbourhood policing has proved successful in a number of areas in the Metropolitan Police District but is not considered to be universally suitable. A survey of the inner divisions is in progress with a view to designing new methods of policing suitable for those areas, and the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis believes that a method appropriate to Hampstead will be found and introduced soon.
