HC Deb 12 November 1976 vol 919 c281W
Mr. Tebbit

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is satisfied with the effectiveness of law enforcement in so far as it is within his responsibility.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

It would be a rash Home Secretary who admitted to unqualified satisfaction; but I am sure that within the available resources the police are effective and strive continuously and successfully to improve their effectiveness. If the hon. Gentleman has any particular problem in mind no doubt he will let me know.
