HC Deb 27 April 1995 vol 258 cc679-80W
Mr. Miller

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps are being taken to discipline named police officers following the Police Complaints Authority report which he has received in respect of Mr. Paul Malone. [20780]

Mr. Maclean

The decision to institute disciplinary proceedings against any police officer is a matter for the chief officer concerned and the Police Complaints Authority. A decision will be taken in respect of those officers who were the subject of allegations made by Mr. Malone after the Director of Public Prosecutions has announced whether any officers are to face criminal proceedings.
