HC Deb 20 February 1968 vol 759 c85W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take steps to set up a council composed of members of the public and the police service, to review important complaints by members of the public where they are not satisfied with internal police investigation.

Mr. Taverne

The Royal Commission on the Police which reported in 1962 proposed the substance of the system for dealing with complaints which is embodied in the Police Act, 1964. The working of the procedures is being kept under close review; but my right hon. Friend has at present no proposals for amending legislation.
