HC Deb 05 November 1999 vol 337 c333W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what guidelines are issued to Royal Ulster Constabulary officers in respect of securing and sealing scenes of crime for the purposes of forensic examination where serious assaults have occurred in public places; and if he will place a copy of such guidelines in the Library. [95354]

Mr. Ingram

[holding answer 26 October 1999]: The RUC provides guidance on the preservation and examination of scenes of crime by way of a Force Order. This is an operational police document and it would therefore be inappropriate to place a copy in the Library.
