HC Deb 06 July 1977 vol 934 c539W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland in view of the concern, particularly in Strathclyde Region, about the rise in crime and the serious shortage of police, what steps he will take to remedy the situation.

Mr. Millan

I share the concern about the present level of crime in Scotland, and in Strathclyde in particular. I understand that Strathclyde Regional Council and the Chief Constable are considering together whether improvements can be made in police cover.
