Clause 7 - Equivalent provision for NCIS and NCS
Police Reform Bill [Lords]
4:15 pm
Mr John Denham (Minister of State (Police, Courts and Drugs), Home Office; Southampton, Itchen, Labour)
The clause will bring schedule 1 into effect and ensure that equivalent provision is made for codes of practice for chief officers under clause 2 and directions to police authorities under clause 4 to apply to the National Criminal Intelligence Service, and similarly that provisions under clauses 2, 4 and 5 will
apply to the National Crime Squad. Clauses 5 and 6, which cover regulation of equipment and regulation of procedures and practices, do not apply to NCIS because it is not an operational policing organisation. If the reintroduced clause is successfully accepted, the same will apply.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 7 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Further consideration adjourned.—[Mrs. McGuire.]
Adjourned accordingly at twenty minutes past Four o'clock till Tuesday 11 June at half-past Four o'clock.
