To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) has had access to intelligence on trade unionists provided by Special Branch or undercover officers; and whether ACPO has sold (1) any such information, and (2) other information held on the Police National Computer, to the Consulting Association.

The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) has ceased operating. The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) has assumed some of ACPO’s functions. The NPCC is an independent organisation and is a core participant in the Undercover Policing Inquiry. The Inquiry will consider any evidence provided by the NPCC that relates to information provided by undercover police officers.
