HC Deb 20 February 1986 vol 92 cc301-2W
61. Mr. Lawler

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many police community forums are now in existence and meeting regularly.

Mr. Giles Shaw

As I said in reply to a question from my hon. Friend on 23 January, a columns 253–54, Her Majesty's inspectors of constabulary keep us informed of progress in establishing committees in different areas. They do this through the year in the reports of their inspection visits to forces and we do not therefore have information on the present position across the country as a whole.
