Ms Oona King

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what further internal inquiries are planned into the handling of the murder of Abdul Kamal Samad. [5804]

Mr. Michael

The Commissioner informs me that the Head of Number 2 Area Complaints Unit in the Metropolitan Police District has been appointed to investigate the initial response to Mr. Samad's murder, which occurred on 21 May 1997. Upon receipt of his report, a decision will be made as to whether a full disciplinary enquiry is required. At this stage no formal complaint against a Metropolitan Police officer has been made. The murder of Mr. Samad is currently being investigated by a team of detectives.
