Business question from John Austin (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 July 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

My right hon. Friend will know that the House used to have an annual debate on the Metropolitan police, when the Home Secretary was the police authority. Although we now have a police authority for London, today's tragic events have shown that there is a national dimension to the work of the Metropolitan police. Will he consider reinstating the debate on the role of the Metropolitan police, so that the whole House can discuss the national role that they play?
