§ Mr. HoyleTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what guidance he gives to chief constables on meeting hon. Members on constituency matters. [107733]
§ Mr. Bob AinsworthThe Secretary of State has issued no guidance to chief officers on meeting hon. Members. This is ultimately a matter for the chief officers themselves.
However, the Secretary of State would normally expect a chief constable to extend every courtesy on issues affecting the welfare of an hon. Member's constituency and in a manner appropriate to the issue at hand.
