§ 41. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will cause an investigation to be made to ascertain why after some five months a letter sent to the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis by Mr. R. E. Grafton of Stratford, E.15, dated 12 August 1980, had not been acknowledged or answered.
§ Mr. MayhewI understand that Mr. Grafton's letter was acknowledged on 21 August; that he was subsequently seen by the local home beat officer and expressed himself satisfied with action taken by the police to meet his point; and that a further reply was therefore considered unnecessary.
