Policing and Crime Bill

Proceeding contribution from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 March 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Policing and Crime Bill.

I wonder whether the Home Affairs Committee Chairman would agree that that does not need to be in statute. Surely it is simply common sense for the investigating officers to do such a thing, because this is not just about Paul Gambaccini—there were lots of others. The reason we have not put that in the Bill is that neither I nor the Home Secretary see the need for it to be on the statute book—it is just the common-decency way to treat people.
