I welcome what my hon. Friend is saying. Is he aware—this ties in with the assertion of the hon. Member for Holborn and St. Pancras (Mr. Dobson) — that in Ealing we have a borough liaison police committee and that the members of the Ealing Labour party—the Ealing Socialists—have refused to join it, although they have been invited to do so? They are, however, strong supporters of the GLC's efforts to disrupt police activities at public expense—for example, the so-called GLC police committee which spent about £4 million of ratepayers' money last year doing its utmost to disrupt good and positive policing in London.
