HC Deb 29 January 1979 vol 961 c303W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why Scotland Yard's computer contains names of individuals who are not criminals, associates of criminals or suspect criminals.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

Its main purpose is to keep information about crime, criminals and their associates. Such other information as is kept will relate to the protection and the security of the State.
