National Black Police Association: Finance

Mr. Watson
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the Department expects to complete its analysis of the auditor’s final report on funding for the National Black Police Association; if he will place copies of the auditor’s final report in the Library; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. McNulty
[holding answer 25 June 2007]: The Home Office auditor’s final report has been analysed resulting in 20 separate recommendations. It would be inappropriate to make a statement at this time, as the matter remains ongoing.

Home Office audit reports are internal documents and not for publication because they are part of Home Office business and are commercially sensitive.
