HC Deb 25 March 1969 vol 780 cc265-6W
Mr. Roebuck

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT details of prosecutions and convictions for drug offences in the London Borough

Stafford and Worcester Assizes, respectively, in each year from 1960 to 1968.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

I assume that my hon. Friend's Question relates to criminal proceedings. The following is the information:

Mr. Elystan Morgan

There were 9,998 complaints in 1968 from members of the public against police officers in England and Wales, of which 406 were still being investigated at the end of the year. 1,188 were found to be substantiated and 5,922 unsubstantiated; 2,482 complaints were withdrawn. Information on the last part of the Question is not readily available. A recent examination however of a sample of 100 complaints in one force showed four in which representations of dissatisfaction were made.
