HC Deb 01 December 1983 vol 49 cc560-1W
22. Mr. Winnick

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the chief constable of the West Midlands police on the case of Mrs. Madeline Haigh; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Brittan

A report on this matter by the chief constable of the west midlands was the subject of a very full and public discussion at a meeting of the West Midlands police authority on 16 November. I was pleased to hear that it had reaffirmed its confidence in the force. I fully share its confidence.
