Debate between Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist and Lord Harris of Haringey
Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist
That is something we can discuss within the usual channels. It is not in the scope of my purview here.
Lord Harris of Haringey (Lab)
My Lords, notwithstanding the errors that may have been made in the specific investigations that noble Lords have talked about today, could the Minister tell us whether it is the Government’s view that, when accusations are made against people of prominence, such investigations must be seen to be carried out properly and appropriately?
Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist
As I have said, the Home Office will carefully consider the ramifications of the reports that are to be published shortly and reflect on the testimonies therein. It will then ensure that appropriate action is taken with policing partners to address such issues, and that there can be public confidence in the fairness and impartiality of these reports.
