HC Deb 03 November 1980 vol 991 cc418-9W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he is taking to encourage and facilitate membership of the police by ethnic minorities.

Mr. Brittan

Chief officers of police share my wish to increase the number of police officers from the ethnic minorities. A special advertising campaign has just begun in the ethnic minority press and will continue for some months. This follows a similar campaign early last year.
