HC Deb 07 December 1972 vol 847 c489W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will ask the Commission of Police of the Metropolis to reply personally to communications sent to him by Members of Parliament.

Mr. Carlisle

This is a matter for the Commissioner of Police. He is concerned that the many letters he receives from hon. Members should receive prompt, courteous and careful attention, but he could not undertake to reply to all of them in person.
