Mr. Maclean

[holding answer 24 May 1995]: The assessment was made by the Association of Chief Police Officers as part of the process of developing and considering possible policy options and it would not therefore be appropriate to publish it. I can, however, say that it indicated that the problems arising from the activities of unscrupulous operators are confined to a few force areas and that there is not considered to be a significant problem in other forces.
