Mr. Tony Banks
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, pursuant to his answer of 26 February, Official Report, columns 348–49, on civil actions against police officers, he will give details of the nature of the complaints, the names of the complainant and the numbers of officers, and their ranks, involved in each of the 10 cases referred to in his answer.
Mr. Douglas Hogg
[pursuant to his reply, 5 March 1987, c. 696]: In the absence of any knowledge of the wishes of the individuals concerned, we do not think it would be right to give the names of the complainants.
