HC Deb 23 February 1976 vol 906 cc7-8W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in how many cases, over any period and in respect of any area for which the Home Office has information, disciplinary charges have been brought against police officers for breaches of the Judges' Rules.

Dr. Summerskill

Disciplinary 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.

Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether responsibility for the drafting of the Administration Directions appended to the Judges' Rules lies with (2) what were the numbers of people accepted for settlement by revocation of conditions from (i) the New Commonwealth (ii) Pakistan and (iii) East Africa—holding United Kingdom passports—during 1966 and each subsequent year.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

Statistics of acceptances for settlement by revocation of conditions were first included in the White Paper "Immigration Statistics 1973" (Cmnd. 5603). Figures relating to United Kingdom passport holders from East Africa have not been shown separately.

The following table shows the information that is readily available:

his Department or the judges of the Queen's Bench.

Dr. Summerskill
