§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will arrange to publish in the Official Report a copy of the Metropolitan Police paper sent out to journalists and the news media for the obtaining of passes to be used during the Pope's visit; why such questions are needed to be asked; and whether he will guarantee that this information is destroyed at the end of the visit and not recorded upon the police computers.
§ Mr. MayhewThe Metropolitan Police have not sent out such a paper. The Catholic Information Service has issued application forms for media accreditation and passes for the Papal visit which are to be returned to and held by the CIS. Such accreditation is a matter for the Roman Catholic Church. Publication of the form is a matter for the CIS, to whom enquiries about it should be addressed.
