HC Deb 06 May 1971 vol 816 c420W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take the necessary legislative action to ensure that where prima facie evidence is submitted to him of the fact that the police are failing to carry out their liability to enforce the law according to statute, aggrieved taxpayers shall be legally enabled to sue the police for damages and redress.

Mr. Sharpies

My right hon. Friend sees no need for any changes in the law.
