HC Deb 04 February 1966 vol 723 c303W
Mr. Spriggs

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether police officers and other ranks may be represented by a legal advocate in ordinary disciplinary cases; and if he will take steps to provide the right, as a condition of service in the police force, to allow the members of the force a legal advocate in all cases.

Mr. George Thomas

No; this would not be appropriate.
