§ Mr. Vazasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what stage the Police Complaints Authority inquiry into the policing at Notting Hill has reached; how many officers based there have been suspended; and if police constables David Jud, Andrew Chows and Douglas Brooks are still on duty at the Notting Hill police station.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggThe Police Complaints Authority is supervising the investigation of allegations related to Notting Hill which were raised in television documentaries in April and May 1986. I understand that the investigation is still being pursued and that it is not possible, at this stage, to say when it is likely to be completed. No officers have been suspended from duty as a result of the allegations. The disposition of individual officers within the Metropolitan police district is a matter for the Commissioner; it is not his practice to discuss such issues publicly.
