Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether a Service Police Complaints Commissioner has been appointed.
I am pleased to confirm that His Majesty The King appointed Margaret Obi as the first Service Police Complaints Commissioner.
The role of the Commissioner is to provide independent oversight of the Service Police complaints system; Ms Obi will bring a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to this role.
The Commissioner will have functions similar to those conferred on the Director General of the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
