Mr. Barnes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what discussions he has had about changing police disciplinary procedures. [30344]

Mr. Mike O'Brien

There is a need for change in the police disciplinary system. The Government are currently preparing their response to the recent Home Affairs Committee report on police complaints and discipline. We intend to continue discussions with the police staff associations and others in taking forward the necessary changes.
