Police and Justice Bill

My Lords, I cannot let it stand that we have lent on ACPO. We asked for ACPO’s view because we were worried that it might have concerns about the matter. We wanted to hear from ACPO whether there was a gap and what the gap was so that we could assist. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to come back to the House and say to the noble Lord, Lord Marlesford, ““You’re right and there is something more that we can do””. I reassure the noble Lord that we asked ACPO about the matter, but it was certainly not lent on.
