Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 December 2024

Debate

Independent Office for Police Conduct

Contribution

My Lords, a situation has arisen in Devon and Cornwall where not one but two chief constables have been suspended on full pay, pending investigation. I understand that the police and crime commissioner has made an application for a special grant in order to cover the costs of full pay for three chief constables. As we have just heard, the IOPC can take some time in its investigations. What approach does the Minister intend to take in this and similar situations in the future?
