§ Mr. HealdTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the national application of the Association of Chief Police Officers' document, "Harmonisation of Business Processes", and its role in delivering best value by comparison of police forces' performance. [114464]
§ Mr. Charles ClarkeThe Association of Chief Police Officers' "Harmonisation of Business Processes" document has been one of a number of emerging influences which have been taken account of, and incorporated into, the new inspection model developed by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary. The new inspection model will assist us in our efforts to compare performance across police authorities and Basic Command Units.
