HC Deb 06 November 1975 vol 899 cc304-5W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will institute an inquiry into the number of occasions in which a person alleging assault upon himself by police has subsequently had assault proceedings brought against him by the police themselves in Sheffield during the past two years.

Dr. Summerskill

We have asked for a report from the Chief Constable of South Yorkshire, and when we have considered this my noble Friend will write to my hon. Friend.

Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the hon. Member for Sheffield, Heeley may expect a reply from his Department regarding a report from the Chief Constable on the complaint of a constituent against the police, which matter was originally raised by the hon. Member on 21st November 1974.

Dr. Summerskill

Shortly. As my hon. Friend knows, related court proceedings were not completed until 26th September. We have just received a report from the Chief Constable, and my noble Friend will write to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
