Lord Archer of Sandwell

asked Her Majesty's Government:

On how many occasions during the last three years has the Police Complaints Authority, in a statement provided under Section 89(10) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, expressed the view that a police investigation had not been conducted to its satisfaction.

Baroness Blatch:

I am not aware that any statements to this effect have been issued. Where the authority identifies deficiencies in an investigation under its supervision, it will issue appropriate directions to the police and satisfy itself on any matters of concern before issuing a statement.
