HC Deb 24 March 1981 vol 1 c283W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what guidance is issued to the police with regard to liaison and co-operation with welfare bodies and organisers at pop festivals.

Mr. Mayhew

A letter sent to chief officers of police in 1977 gave information about the work of the Festival Welfare Services Committee in co-ordinating the welfare services provided by voluntary organisations at pop festivals. The letter also described the role of the full-time field worker employed in this area.
