Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harris of Richmond (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 11 July 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Police and Justice Bill.


Police and Justice Bill

I warmly support the amendment proposed by the noble Baroness, Lady Henig. As she said, it is absolutely right that we should have open and transparent inspection for police authorities, which we have long wanted, with the means to the end being how we achieve it. Many police authority members have gained expert knowledge over the years since the Association of Police Authorities was formed. I would warmly welcome long-serving police authority members being specially trained to undertake peer review. It is, after all, in their and everyone’s interest that police authorities perform at optimum level.
