§ Mr. Harry GreenwayTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many London boroughs have police liaison consultative committees; how many are officially supported by the majority party of the local council; which borough council majority parties refuse to nominate representatives to their local police consultative committee; and if he will make a statement.
459W
§ Mr. Douglas HoggPolice/community consultative groups are now established in all London boroughs. The majority parties of five borough councils have refused to nominate representatives to their local group. They are: Brent, Ealing, Hackney, Haringey and Lambeth.
I congratulate the many people of good will who are working so hard to make the consultative process a success, and I deplore the decision by a small minority of councils not to participate. I hope that they will reconsider their position.
