Mr. Ingram

I refer my hon. Friend to an answer I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Hackney, South and Shoreditch (Mr. Sedgemore) on 29 July 1997,Official Report, column 98, in which I said the relevant parts of the documents regarding guidelines were placed in the Library of the House. The RUC are currently engaged with their Association of Police Officers colleagues in Great Britain in reviewing the guidelines.
