HC Deb 14 December 1972 vol 848 c189W
37. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the Chief Constable of the Essex and Southend-on-Sea Joint Constabulary on his refusal to supply Prisoner T. Brett with details of Sergeant Ward's police detention sheet.

Mr. Carlisle

The supply of information from police records is a matter for the chief constable, who has, I understand, arranged for some details to be supplied through the force prosecuting solicitor.

The hon. Member is mistaken in supposing Mr. Ward to be a police officer.
