To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received, and from whom, about the current police disciplinary procedures as they appear in the consultative document on police discipline procedures; and what plans he has to amend the document in the light of the representations.

My right hon. and learned Friend has asked for responses to the consultation paper by 14 May and he will consider all representations received before deciding what proposals to lay before Parliament. There has been only one response to date, from the deputy chief constable of Cambridgeshire constabulary.
