Police: Northern Ireland
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government further to the Written Answers by Baroness Ashton of Upholland on 20 December 2004 (WA 113) and by Lord Rooker on 16 July 2007 (WA 6–7) relating to an incident involving Royal Ulster Constabulary Constable Trevor Purcell during a riot on 13 July 2001, what assessment they have made of Sir Hugh Orde's handling of the case when he was chief constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
- Answer
-
Specific regulations are in place which provide for the operation of disciplinary procedures by the chief constable. It is not for Government to carry out an assessment of the chief constable's handling of any individual discipline case. However, on conclusion of internal misconduct proceedings, including the chief constable's review, an officer will be notified of his right to appeal to the Northern Ireland Policing Board.
