§ Mr. Tony Banksasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if any formal discussions have taken place between the Metropolitan police and the Inner London education authority over the issue of police involvement in inner London schools.
§ Mr. Giles ShawRegular consultations take place between the Metropolitan police and all local education authorities, including the Inner London education authority on matters of mutual interest. These matters would clearly include the schools involvement programme.
§ Mr. Tony Banksasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many schools in the inner London area have established formal consultative arrangements with the Metropolitan police.
§ Mr. Giles ShawI understand from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that his statistics on schools which participate in the force's schools involvement programme do not distinguish between those in inner London and elsewhere, but that most schools in inner London receive liaison visits as part of the programme.
