§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of his longstanding excellent police record prior to his drinking and driving conviction at Peterborough on 17 November and his dismissal from the police force, he will reinstate Detective Chief Superintendent Richard Muirhead of the Cambridgeshire Criminal Investigation Department.
§ Mr. WhitelawMr. Muirhead has a right of appeal to me against his dismissal by his chief constable. It would not therefore be appropriate for me otherwise to comment on the case.
