HC Deb 11 May 1981 vol 4 cc170-1W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the liaison facilities used to transmit information on criminal matters between provincial police forces; and whether he is satisfied that liaison is satisfactory.

Mr. Mayhew

Arrangements exist for liaison between police forces, where necessary, on criminal matters, and regional criminal intelligence offices have been set up for the collation and dissemination of information. My right hon. Friend is satisfied that, in general, these arrangements operate satisfactorily.
