Q93. Mr. Jessel

To ask the Prime Minister what representations she has received requesting that responsibility for the Metropolitan police be removed from the Home Secretary and placed in the hands of an elected authority.

I have received no such representations. I have every confidence in the present system. The Home Secretary, as police authority, is answerable to Parliament.
