HC Deb 22 July 1982 vol 28 cc283-4W
Mr. Beaumont-Dark

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he is satisfied that the vetting procedure for appointments to the police and security services for Royal service is adequate and takes account of the pressures on such appointments;

(2) if he is satisfied that the vetting procedure for senior appointments to the police service is adequate and takes account of the pressures on such appointments.

Mr. Whitelaw

I shall consider these questions in the light of the report of the inquiry which, as I announced in my statement on 21 July—[Vol. 28, c. 397–407.]—I have asked Lord Bridge to undertake.
