HC Deb 25 June 1984 vol 62 cc327-8W
Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the national reporting centre has computer terminals attached to the police national computer; and what information from the police national computer is made available to the national reporting centre.

Mr. Hurd

I understand that the national reporting centre has no police national computer terminals itself. It has used terminals elsewhere in New Scotland Yard to obtain access to the police national computer broadcast facility to receive and relay information about the provision of mutual aid from one force to another. No other police national computer facilities have been used.
