HC Deb 16 March 1981 vol 1 cc20-1W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Industry how many powers to enter private premises were uncovered during his recent review of powers of entry.

Mr. MacGregor

This review was concerned with powers to enter business premises and it would be disproportionately costly to establish how many of these powers apply also to private premises. A list of powers of entry into private premises in England and Wales was published as annex 4 to the supplementary paper, "Investigation and prosecution in England and Wales", to the report of the Royal Commission on Criminal Procedure (Cmnd. 8092).
