HC Deb 17 April 1996 vol 275 c524W
Ms Janet Anderson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the transfer of core and ancilliary tasks from the police to the private security industry. [24885]

Mr. Maclean

We have conducted a major review of police core and ancillary tasks and a report of its findings was published on 27 June 1995. The review made no recommendations to transfer traditional police tasks to the private security industry, and we have no plans to do so.
