Is it not right that when police officers commit such offences their pensions should also be suspended immediately as part of the punishment?
Lord Sharpe of Epsom (Con)
I cannot say that it is right across the board; I do not know. It would obviously have to be decided on a case-by-case basis. The way that we have changed the dismissals process will, I hope, give that decision-making power to the right people and make the dismissals process much easier for them to navigate. As I said, it would be foolish of me to say a blanket yes or no; it depends on the case.
