HC Deb 18 May 1988 vol 133 c462W
Mr. Frank Field

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to set up an independent non-police body under the control of the Police Complaints Authority to investigate allegations of serious misconduct on the part of the police officers.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

No. The Police Complaints Authority already has extensive powers to supervise and direct the progress of the investigation of serious allegations against police officers.
