HC Deb 08 June 1981 vol 6 c11W
34. Mr. Arthur

Lewis asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to his reply, to the hon. Member for Newham, North-West on 2 June 1981, when he sent the promised letter, whether he will publish this letter in the Official Report; and for what reason he did not give the information contained in the letter in his original reply of 2 June.

Mr. Mayhew

The hon. Member's question to which I replied on 2 June, c.307, raised matters relating to the handling of correspondence by the Metropolitan Police on which it was necessary to consult the Commissioner. These consultations could not be completed in the time available but I hope to write to the hon. Member shortly.
