HC Deb 19 November 1985 vol 87 c142W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects the report of the chief constable of the west midlands on the rioting in the Lozells road area of Handsworth in September to be published.

Mr. Hurd

The chief constable is publishing his report today. I am placing copies in the Library. The report provides a clear account of the disorders and more generally is a most important and valuable contribution to consideration of the lessons to be learnt from the recent disorders in Birmingham and elsewhere.
