To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will make a statement on the implications for police operational procedures following the conviction of those involved with the killing of PC Frank Mason;

(2) if he will announce a new inquiry into police operational procedures following the conviction of armed robbers for causing the death of PC Frank Mason;

(3) whether, in the light of recent experience, new guidelines on stake-out procedures are to be issued to police authorities.
