§ Mr. Eyreasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the police negotiating machinery recommended in the Edmund-Davies report is to be put into effect; and upon what date an independent chairman for the new negotiating body is to be appointed.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesThe implementation of the Edmund-Davies recommendations is still under discussion with the police representative bodies and the local authority associations. It would be premature to appoint a chairman until these discussions are complete.
