HC Deb 21 January 1971 vol 809 c316W
53. The Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is satisfied with the policing of cities in England and Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sharples

No Home Secretary could ever be so satisfied, and in particular there is at present a need for additional strength. But in general the police forces of England and Wales make effective use of the manpower and equipment at their disposal.
