§ Mr. William RossTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the chief constable of the Thames Valley police as to what were the security arrangements in operation prior to the granting and variations of the firearms certificate issued to the late Michael Ryan for the safekeeping of the rubber stamp of the signature of the appropriate chief officer of police of the Thames Valley police and as to what additional security precautions have been taken concerning such rubber stamps since the Hungerford tragedy.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggNo. Arrangements for the safekeeping of office equipment are a matter entirely for individual chief officers of police.
