HC Deb 13 June 1973 vol 857 c325W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now ensure that any police officer against whom a complaint is made by a member of the public is given immediate sight of the terms of the complaint; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Carlisle

The Police (Discipline) Regulations already provide that an officer against whom a complaint is made is to be informed of the substance of the complaint and that if as a result of the complaint he is charged with a disciplinary offence he is to be supplied with a copy of the complaint. The proposal that a copy should be supplied in every case will be examined by the working group now reviewing the complaints procedure.
