§ Mr. Cohenasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, on why Sergeant Mark Parsons lied to Miss Patricia Jarrett of Tottenham on entering her mother's house; and what disciplinary measures have been or are to be taken.
§ Mr. Giles ShawThe circumstances of the search of Miss Jarrett's mother's house are the subject of an investigation into complaints made by the family against officers of the Metropolitan police. The Director of Public Prosecutions is considering the investigation report. Depending upon his conclusion whether criminal charges should be brought against any officer, it will be for the Commissioner to decide on possible disciplinary charges. A decision by a chief officer not to prefer disciplinary charges following a complaint is subject to review by the Police Complaints Authority.
