§ Dr. SummerskillDisciplinary charges are brought in accordance with the provisions of the Police (Discipline) Regulations for alleged offences set out in the discipline code, and the regulations apply whether or not in particular instance an alleged action by a police officer could be regarded as a breach of the Judges' Rules. The information requested could not, therefore, be provided.
