question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, futher to the answer by Baroness Williams of Trafford on 12 July (HL Deb, cols 963–5), what are their reasons for not establishing an inquiry into Operation Conifer conducted by the Wiltshire Police into allegations against Sir Edward Heath.

uin	HL9988
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2018 answer text <p>I recognise concerns that have been raised by Noble Lords in relation to Operation Conifer, however it is for locally-elected Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to decide how best to hold their forces to account, and PCCs have the powers to commission an inquiry, should they deem it appropriate. The Government has no plans to launch an inquiry into Operation Conifer.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 17/09/2018 12:47:27 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

The police are rightly operationally independent of Government and should be free from any political interference. How an individual force handles an investigation into allegations of child sexual abuse is a matter for the relevant Chief Officer. It is for locally elected Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to hold their Chief Officers to account.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 01/11/2017 13:45:28 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
