HC Deb 05 November 1979 vol 973 c81W
Mr. David Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment 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 premises.

Mr. Heseltine

My officials do not receive training of the kind my hon. Friend has in mind. I regret that information about public bodies for which I have some responsibility is not readily available.
