Clause 45 - Code of practice: Chief Constable
Railways and Transport Safety Bill
3:45 pm
Mr David Jamieson (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Transport; Plymouth, Devonport, Labour)
I have been beguiled by the hon. Lady's words this afternoon and I shall try to respond to her in kind. The Home Secretary may issue a code of practice concerning the discharge of functions by chief police officers. The hon. Lady asked about the provisions of the code for chief constables. They are brand new and have only just come into force.
