HC Deb 15 March 1984 vol 56 cc227-8W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he gives any guidance to police forces in Wales about their recruitment patterns in order to ensure that recruits will be capable of undertaking their responsibilities in mixed language communities.

Mr. Hurd

No. All chief officers of police are expected to take account of the special needs of their own forces when they appoint constables.
