•1. Lord Laird (Crossbench)
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will investigate the procedures and management of the South Wales Police Authority and its chief executive; and whether they will investigate the Authority's compliance with articles 8, 10 and 13 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
•2. Lord de Mauley (Whip, House of Lords; Conservative)
My right honourable friend the Home Secretary cannot undertake an investigation of South Wales Police Authority, as she has no official powers to investigate or to initiate an investigation of this nature. If the noble Lord has a particular concern, he should raise it with the relevant authority, such as Her Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary or the Independent Police Complaints Commissioner.
•3. Lord Laird (Crossbench)
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will ask HM Inspector of Constabulary, HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate, the Independent Police Complaints Commission and the Welsh Audit Office to investigate the management, procedures and efficiency of the South Wales Police Authority and its chief executive.
•4. Lord de Mauley (Whip, House of Lords; Conservative)
My right honourable friend the Home Secretary does not have the authority to commission any of those organisations to conduct an investigation of that nature of South Wales Police Authority. However, if the noble Lord has real concerns, he should raise them with the relevant authority directly.
