HC Deb 27 January 1970 vol 794 c324W
Mr. Ron Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the Chief Constable of the Cumbrian Police Force as to the adequacy of its staffing to meet the needs of the 1970s.

Mr. Callaghan

I have authorised an increase in the Cumbria Constabulary to meet immediate needs. Manpower requirements in the force, as in the police service generally, are under continuous review.
