Clause 80 - President of ACPO
Police Reform Bill [Lords]
11:15 am
Mr Nick Hawkins (Surrey Heath, Conservative)
In this case, the Police Federation has written to my hon. Friend and myself to say that it agrees with what is proposed in clause 80, although it says—and I share this opinion—
''we are intrigued as to the intentions behind it.''
It is intrigued about whether there is any special significance in introducing a special measure in an Act of Parliament to provide that the president of ACPO shall continue to hold the rank of chief constable. I am equally puzzled and intrigued about that, so I am interested to know what the Minister has to say.
