HL Deb 27 July 1971 vol 323 cc397-8WA
BARONESS WOOTTON OF ABINGER

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many persons in (a) the City of Cambridge and (b) the City of Oxford have been searched under Section 6(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1967 in the latest year for which information is available.

THE MINISTER OF STATE, HOME OFFICE (LORD WINDLESHAM)

Statistics of the kind requested have been collected by the Thames Valley Police only from January 1, 1971. The figure up to July 19 for the City of Oxford is 32. Comparable figures cannot be given for the City of Cambridge since the Mid-Anglian Constabulary has only just made arrangements for their collection.

House adjourned at three minutes before one o'clock a.m.
