§ Mr. HancockTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how he will inform the public of the 383W allocation of the power to detain and use force to non-police personnel; what the projected cost is of providing this information; and if he will make a statement. [44964]
§ Mr. DenhamClause 35 (4) of the Police Reform Bill proposes that a police authority must include in their annual policing plan any proposals they have to employ, accredit or give powers to police support staff or members of Community Safety Accreditation Schemes. These plans are published.
Under the Police Act 1996, police authorities are already required to issue an annual policing plan each year and, so, any additional information can be included in the plan at minimal cost.
