§ Sir R. Thompsonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the reason for the continuing delay in the provision of new police headquarters in Croydon; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. SharplesThe provision of a new police station at Croydon has been delayed by changes in requirements and by design problems. It is hoped that the difficulties have now all been overcome. Plans have been sent to the local planning authority and building should start towards the end of 1973.
