HC Deb 03 August 1971 vol 822 c283W
Mr. Kinsey

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will call for reports from chief constables on what instructions are issued to police forces as to their powers to examine the private contents of vehicles left open and temporarily unattended in a public position.

Mr. Sharples

I am aware of a particular case which has caused my hon. Friend some concern: but my right hon. Friend, on his present information, sees no reason for any general inquiry of the kind suggested.
