Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on Public Confidence in the Media and Police.


Public Confidence in the Media and Police

I am grateful to my right hon. Friend and I agree very much with the point he has just made. However, does he not agree that he needs to be absolutely clear beyond any doubt that no elected police and crime commissioner can direct that an investigation should not begin, or, indeed, should begin?
