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
