§ Mr. Clinton Davisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT in the case of each chief constable in England and Wales, and of the Commissioners of Police for the Metropolis and City of London, the number of occasions when reports made in compliance with Section 12(1) of the Police Act 1964 have not been disclosed on the authority 144W of the Secretary of State, and the reasons therefor.
§ Mr. CarlisleThere is no power to authorise chief officers not to submit the annual general reports required under Section 12(1) of the Police Act 1964. Whilst there is a power under Section 12(3) not to comply, in certain circumstances, with a request by a police authority made under Section 12(2) for a special report, there is no record of the use of this power.
