Metropolitan Police Service

Duncan Hames Excerpts

Monday 18th July 2011 Commons Chamber

[Duncan Hames (Chippenham) (LD)]

In the light of the concerns raised by this issue, what action does the Home Secretary expect of police authorities outside London to root out inappropriate practices and to restore public confidence in the independence of their forces?

[Mrs May]

I would hope that police authorities will have been considering the issues that have been raised, and that they will give full and proper support to the review that the inspectorate of constabulary will do on this issue in police forces across the country.
