HC Deb 25 May 1995 vol 260 c751W
Mr. Mullin

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he last discussed the tape recording of interviews with suspects with the Chief Constable of the RUC; and what plans he has to bring practice in Northern Ireland into line with that elsewhere in the UK. [24634]

Sir John Wheeler

My right hon. and learned Friend and I have regular meetings with the Chief Constable.

Tape recording of interviews under the Police and Criminal Evidence (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 follows guidelines similar to the English PACE codes. I intend to replace these guidelines in a revised set of codes for Northern Ireland in early 1996.
