HC Deb 27 April 2004 vol 420 c37WS
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (Mr. Ian Pearson)

I have today laid before this House a copy of the oversight commissioner's first statutory report for the year 2004, which is being published today, in accordance with section 68(4)(a) of the Police (Northern Ireland) Act 2000.

This is the first report compiled by Al Hutchinson as oversight commissioner and the 10th in the series of oversight reports published since 2001.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the new oversight commissioner to this very important post.
