PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(3 June 2026)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy that the National Police Chiefs' Council should not issue further guidance until it has been approved by her and by Parliament.

Asked by:
Sir Christopher Chope (Conservative)

Answer

The National Police Chiefs’ Council is an operationally independent body with its own governance structure and chair. They work closely with policing partners, including the College of Policing and with the Home Office on a range of matters. This includes guidance and standards, and any required handling with Parliament, as is appropriate.
