Policing and Crime Bill (Fourth sitting)

Charlie Elphicke Excerpts

Tuesday 22nd March 2016 Public Bill Committees

[Jack Dromey]

I am not impressed, with the greatest of respect, at the IPCC looking at the IPCC, but the Minister made the point that there is a mechanism involving HMIC, and that is welcome. She also says that there will be a review. The thrust of what we are arguing for is not that there is a review within two months, but that within two months a timetable and a process are laid out as to how the review will be conducted. We will hold the Government to that at the next stages, because it is important that this time we get it right.

Clause 17, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.

[The Lord Commissioner of Her Majesty's Treasury (Charlie Elphicke)]

We have made excellent progress today and enjoyed the amazing oratory of the hon. Member for West Ham. With the rest of the Committee now desiring a rest, I suggest that the Committee now adjourn.

Ordered, That further consideration be now adjourned.— (Charlie Elphicke.)
