HC Deb 16 July 1987 vol 119 c608W
44. Mr. Stanbrook

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, within his departmental responsibilities, he will propose further administrative and legislative action designed to promote the unity of the United Kingdom.

Mr. Hurd

Only some of my responsibilities extend to the United Kingdom as a whole; but Home Office policies, in particular for broadcasting, race relations, immigration, crime and policing in England and Wales, respect the territorial, constitutional and social unity of the United Kingdom, and are designed to operate fairly between the different parts of the country to which they apply.
