HC Deb 22 January 1992 vol 202 c192W
Mr. Steinberg

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) from which sources the names on the animal rights national index are obtained;

(2) what measures he takes to ensure that the animal rights national index does not include those involved only in legitimate and legal campaigning.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

The animal rights national index holds information received from police forces throughout Great Britain. The use of the index is the operational responsibility of chief officers of police.
