As I said, I am grateful to the Policing Minister, who has written to a particular offender in West Midlands Police. I am conscious there is a change of leadership in that force. I am grateful also to the Minister for setting out the actions that that West Midlands is taking following the exchange of correspondence. I am grateful, more particularly, that the Government will be writing to all police forces through the National Police Chiefs’ Council, because this is not an issue just in the West Midlands. The question of consistency relies on all forces behaving in the same, predictable way so that organisations affected can plan.
