Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when she plans to publish the review into the process of police officer dismissals.

Officers who fall seriously short of the standards expected have no place in our police, and we must ensure they can be dismissed as swiftly as possible.

The Government established a review to consider the effectiveness of the disciplinary system at removing officers who fall far short of the high standards expected of them. Ministers are considering the findings of the review carefully and will make announcements on next steps as soon as practicable.
