HC Deb 27 January 1972 vol 829 c490W
37. Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the statements of Ministers that the interrogation techniques described in the Compton Report are not illegal, he will issue guidance to police authorities in Great Britain that these methods should not be used.

Mr. Maudling

As police officers in England and Wales do not interrogate in the circumstances discussed in the Compton Report the use of the methods referred to does not arise.
