HC Deb 19 June 1975 vol 893 c481W
44. Mr. Kenneth Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he proposes to deal with the increasing commitment of police manpower to deal with disorders at sporting and other activities.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

The need for police which arises from these activities is taken into account in assessing the authorised establishments of police forces. It is for chief officers of police to decide how to deploy the resources at their disposal.
