Clause 35 - Police powers for police authority employees
Police Reform Bill [Lords]
9:45 am
Mr Huw Irranca-Davies (Ogmore, Labour)
Surely it should be incumbent upon the various divisional commanders to ensure that they co-operate effectively and that we do not have the sort of boundary problems described by the hon. Gentleman, which would fly in the face of best practice across all aspects of the public sector. We should allow CSOs varied powers, at least in the early stages of this new innovation, and have guidelines that ensure that they work together effectively, in their local neighbourhoods and across boundaries.
