Lord Sharpe of Epsom (Con)
My Lords, I respectfully disagree. I think that the appropriate process is to review this and, as I say, the review was announced in October. The terms of reference are under active discussion and will be published very soon.
Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (GP)
My Lords, in view of all the legislation that we keep passing here, giving the police greater and greater powers, I would have assumed that there would be some urgency to this sort of revision. We need higher standards of discipline, self-control and integrity within our police forces if we are going to give them all these extra powers.
Lord Sharpe of Epsom (Con)
I completely agree with the noble Baroness; we absolutely need all those things.
