HC Deb 16 May 1978 vol 950 c86W
Mr. Sims

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on what grounds divisional crime squads of the Metropolitan Police were disbanded at the end of April; and how long a period is likely to elapse before the new sub-divisional squads will become fully operational.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

Crime squads and their disposition are operational matters for the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis.
