HC Deb 15 May 1984 vol 60 c299
Mr. Hurd

I beg to move, amendment No. 191, in page 64, line 24, after 'his', insert 'written'.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this it will be convenient to take amendments Nos. 192, 194, 202, 195, 196, 197, 199, 200, 201 and 204.

Mr. Hurd

These are amendments to the complaints and discipline provisions of the Bill. I should like to pinpoint two of them. Amendment No. 191 provides for written consent to a complaint being forwarded by a third party, which was a point made in Committee by my hon. Friend the Member for Bury St. Edmunds (Mr. Griffiths). I was rather grudging about it at the time, but I see its wisdom now, so here it is.

Amendment No. 204 introduces another point that is important to the Police Federation. It makes breaches of the guidance on these subjects admissible on appeal from first instance disciplinary hearings.

Amendment agreed to.
