§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in view of concern felt by the police and detectives that the statistics on drugs are not giving a true description of the present situation on drug trafficking, whether he will meet the police and discuss their concerns and publish the results of such discussions.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesArrangements for regular consultations already exist by which the police may bring to my attention their views on subjects of this sort and I am always glad to take their views into account. They have not approached me recently in respect of the statistics of offences relating to drug trafficking.
