To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has any plans to establish a national computerised missing persons register; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

We have been considering the establishment of such a register for some time now. We have been examining two possible options and are now seeking the views of the Association of Chief Police Officers before reaching a conclusion as to the better method.
