HC Deb 23 January 1984 vol 52 c426W
Mr. Ron Brown

asked the Secretry of State for Scotland if he will issue new guidelines to chief constables, following the disclosure that confidential police files had been recently found in an Edinburgh rubbish dump, with a view to improving security of documents which contain the names of the general public.

Mr. Ancram

I shall consider whether new guidelines are necessary once investigations of the incident referred to have been completed.
