HC Deb 24 May 1977 vol 932 cc456-7W
Mr. Robin F. Cook

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will deposit in the Library a set of annual reports by chief constables for the most recent convenient year.

Mr. Harry Ewing

No. The discretion whether or not to publish the chief constable's annual report rests with the appropriate police authority and my hon. Friend would be able to obtain copies of any published reports from that source.
