HC Deb 22 November 1983 vol 49 cc84-5W
Q21. Mrs. Renée

Short asked the Prime Minister if Her Majesty's Government will issue guidance to chief officers of police about the manner in which the police respond to information they receive alleging serious crime.

Mr. Biffen

I have been asked to reply.

No. How the police respond to information they receive is an operational matter for each individual chief officer of police.
