answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2024 answer text <p>The Home Office does not intend to issue guidance as described, as it would not be appropriate for such a question to be asked to all individuals providing statements to the police.</p><p>All incidents are taken seriously by the police, and officers will always seek to follow relevant lines of enquiry. The questions asked by the police will therefore be specific to the circumstances of each particular incident, including the individual’s version of events.</p><p>If there is anything to indicate that there is an element of spiking it will be fully investigated.</p> answering member constituency Newbury answering member printed Laura Farris question first answered 03/04/2024 08:53:54 answering member 4826 label Biography information for Laura Farris
