HC Deb 27 November 1968 vol 774 c121W
74. Mr. Monro

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he is taking to combat rising crime; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ross

The prevention of crime is not something that can be achieved by some single action but by continued efforts find initiatives by the police and other forces of law and order, and by local authorities and the community. I am continuing to support such initiatives.
