HC Deb 10 February 1976 vol 905 c146W
Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will give instructions to the police that verbal statements are not to be drawn up by officers investigating crime after they have interviewed suspects without a written statement of the alleged statement being submitted to the suspect for an agreed version to be produced.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

No. I am satisfied that no such instructions are necessary.
