Mr. Stern

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he plans a national campaign to encourage the recruitment of special constables.

Yes. A national publicity campaign will be launched early in 1991. Its purpose, over three years, is to enhance public awareness of the role and value of the special constabulary and to increase the number of special constables recruited locally.
