HC Deb 31 January 1983 vol 36 c5W
Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department which of Her Majesty's Inspectors of Constabulary is responsible for inspecting the Royal Ulster Constabulary.

Mr. Mayhew

Her Majesty's Inspectors of Constabulary have no statutory responsibility for inspecting the Royal Ulster Constabulary. When requested, inspection of the RUC is normally carried out by Her Majesty's inspector of constabulary responsible for forces in north-west England, at the expense of the Northern Ireland authorities.
