Clause 16 - Provision of information to the Commission
Police Reform Bill [Lords]
4:45 pm
Mr James Paice (South East Cambridgeshire, Conservative)
Even though the Government have resisted our determination to include accredited community safety schemes in the commission's remit, it is important for the employers in such schemes to have a responsibility to provide information to the commission if required to do so. The people involved may be party to an incident that is the subject of a complaint. They may be accompanying a police officer against whom a complaint is made or involved in another aspect of an incident. They should be required to provide information to the commission. That puts the argument in a nutshell. I hope that even if the
Under-Secretary does not reply, he will consider that point.
