HC Deb 18 January 1982 vol 16 c14W
Mr. Tilley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to conclude his consultations on a reform of the police complaints procedure as recommended by Lord Scarman.

Mr. Mayhew

The Home Affairs Committee is conducting an inquiry into police complaints and related matters which, we understand, it is hoped will be completed by Easter. We shall wish to take into account its report before bringing forward proposals for change.
