HC Deb 15 October 1976 vol 917 c234W
Ms. Colquhoun

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why the Metropolitan Police have no facilities for making technical sweeps of houses occupied by private citizens where bugging devices are thought by the police to have been improperly planted; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

I am informed by the Commissioner of Police that it is not his policy to make checks on the alleged presence of a transmitter on premises at the request of a private citizen.
