HL Deb 10 April 2001 vol 624 c86WA
Lord Dholakia

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the timetable for setting up the new independent Police Complaints Commission. [HL1241]

Lord Bassam of Brighton

New legislation is needed in order to set up the Independent Police Complaints Commission. Legislation will be introduced when parliamentary time permits.

However, planning work is continuing and we expect the Independent Police Complaints Commission to be operational approximately 12 months after the new legislation receives Royal Assent.
