HL Deb 28 July 1998 vol 592 c194WA
The Earl of Haddington

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will place in the Library of the House a copy of the annual reports of the Association of Chief Police Officers, England, Wales and Northern Ireland for each year since 1986. [HL2907]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Home Office (Lord Williams of Mostyn)

As I indicated in an earlier reply to the noble Earl (20 July,WA 72), copies of the reports from 1992 to 1997 have already been placed in the Library. Copies of the reports for the years 1986 to 1991 can be obtained direct from the Association of Chief Police Officers.

The Earl of Haddington

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they intend to call for the accounts of the Association of Chief Police Officers, England, Wales and Northern Ireland for each year since 1986 to be re-audited; and whether they will provide any reports compiled by the National Audit Office into the financing and finances of the association. [HL2908]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

The accounts of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) and their audit are a matter for ACPO and its members. There is no intention to call for re-audit. We have no reports from the National Audit Office on ACPO and its finances.
