HC Deb 13 January 1978 vol 941 cc860-1W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what request he has received from the Surrey County Council for increases in the establishment of the Surrey police force: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

The Surrey Police Authority has sought my approval for increases in establishment totalling 413. These are being examined in detail, and I shall make my decision as soon as possible.
