HC Deb 25 June 1981 vol 7 c153W
47. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, now that the police operation referred to as "Operation Countryman" is to be wound up, he will make a full and comprehensive statement giving details as to how long this inquiry has taken, why it has taken so long, who was interviewed, what were the costs, and what action was taken or is intended to be taken; and whether he will arrange for a report to be presented to Parliament.

Mr. Mayhew

No. Action remains outstanding under Operation Countryman and my right hon. Friend has no plans to publish a report.
