City of London and Metropolitan Police Forces (Amalgamation)

HC Deb 07 July 1981 vol 8 c77W

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, as a means of saving expense and increasing the Metropolitan Police manpower, he will take whatever action may prove necessary, including legislation, to amalgamate the City of London Police with the Metropolitan Police.

Mr. Mayhew

My right hon. Friend has no plans to do so.
