sub-committees the Research Committee which engaged in the preliminary formulation of a research programme, a Law and Procedure Committee which prepared the supplementary volume of the Report describing existing arrangements, and a Drafting Committee which prepared drafts of the final Report for the approval of the full Commission. The commission drew on evidence from four main sources, written submissions, oral evidence, visits by the Commission and research. Oral evidence was taken in late 1979 and early 1980 on the basis of a consultative paper in order to test opinion on key issues already identified and proposed changes. Commissioners visited every police force in England and Wales and also many police stations and criminal courts in the United Kingdom and abroad. In addition they initiated twelve research studies, which were published, and some smaller research projects by Commission staff, the results of which were incorporated in the Report.
