HC Deb 21 June 1976 vol 913 c336W
Mr. David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list every different circumstance in which officials of his Department, and of all public bodies ultimately answerable to himself, have search and entry powers into either the homes or the business premises of British citizens, with in each case reference to the appropriate statutory authority for the exercise of such powers.

Mr. Tomlinson

There are no circumstances in which officials of my right hon. Friend's Department or public bodies for which he is responsible have such search and entry powers.
