PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Cleveland Police Authority (22 February 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of whether Cleveland Police conducted any surveillance under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 during Operation Sacristy in such a way as to have potentially compromised that investigation.

Asked by:
Anna Turley (Labour)

Operation Sacristy was an investigation that was conducted independently of the Home Office involving a number of organisations and agencies, including the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC). As such we cannot provide specific detail on this operation.

The Office of Surveillance Commissioners oversee the use of surveillance powers by public authorities under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.
