HC Deb 08 May 2001 vol 368 c82W
Mr. Kilfoyle

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will initiate a review of the case of former Detective Sergeant Peter Williams, of the south-east regional crime squad. [160374]

Mr. Charles Clarke

The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis informs me that former Detective Sergeant Peter Williams, of the south-east regional crime squad, was dismissed from the Metropolitan Police service on 15 September 1999, having been found guilty of a number of disciplinary offences.

The disciplinary action taken against Mr. Williams was under the Police (Discipline) Regulations 1985. Under these regulations, a police officer found guilty of disciplinary offences has a right of appeal to the Secretary of State. Mr. Williams has not chosen to appeal against the offences for which he has been found guilty.

The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis informs me that there is no intention to review the case of former Detective Sergeant Peter Williams.
