Home Office

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when he expects to reply to the letter from the Right honourable Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed dated 10th March seeking his Department's approval for an exhibition in the Upper Waiting Hall relating to crime reduction. - (Holding answer 23 July 1999).

Answer: Mr. Beith: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to reply to the letter from the right hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed dated 10 March seeking his Department's approval for an exhibition in the Upper Waiting Hall relating to crime reduction. [92773] Mr. Straw: [holding answer 23 July 1999]: We have no record of having received the letter of 10 March to which the right hon. Member refers, but have since received a copy from his office. "Kno Way" is an excellent example of a project involving the police, business and the voluntary sector in tackling crime and anti-social behaviour. It is to be particularly praised in addressing the issue of safety for vulnerable and elderly people. An exhibition about the project in the Upper Waiting Hall of the House of Commons would have the full support of my Department. I will be writing to the right hon. Member formally to record my views.
