Proceeding contribution from Baroness Doocey (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 20 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Confidence in the Media and the Police.
Public Confidence in the Media and the Police
My Lords, I declare an interest as a member of the MPA. The allegation that police officers accepted money from News International has been hugely damaging to the Metropolitan Police. It is absolutely essential that any investigation is seen to be thorough and independent. The Government have said that the IPCC will carry out a ““supervised”” investigation, but this means that the initial investigation will be under the control and direction of the Met. Do the Government not agree that it would be more appropriate for the IPPC to carry out a high-level independent investigation that would be completely independent of the Met?
