HC Deb 16 October 1975 vol 897 c753W
17. Mr. Anthony Grant

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what study he has made of the time and money expended by the police in investigating complaints against the police under the Police Act 1964; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Summerskill

We are well aware of the time, money and effort expended on the investigation of complaints, and in general we regard it as well spent; but the police have our full support in refraining from over-investigation of intrinsically minor complaints.
