§ Mr. David Atkinsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what training is given to officers in his Department and in public bodies ultimately answerable to him, who have powers of search and entry, with regard to surveillance techniques and methods of gaining entry into business premises and private homes.
§ Mr. YoungerNo such specific training is given, but I would expect any officers in my Department who have powers of search and entry always to exercise them reasonably. I regret that information about officers in public bodies ultimately answerable to me is not readily available.
