Dear Home Office,

Some of the secondary legislation with regards to the Police Appeals Tribunals (Amendment) Rules 2012 was anticipated to be laid in October 2012.

1. Has any secondary legislation been laid?

2. If so; please supply a copy.

3. The following extract is taken from Home Office circular 001/2012:

There are no changes to the police complaints system, police misconduct system and Police Appeals Tribunals rules outside of the MPS area until November 2012 when PCCs will be elected. Changes to the police complaints system, police misconduct system and Police Appeals Tribunals rules outside the MPS area, and further changes to the arrangements within the MPS area, will be brought in for November 2012 through separate secondary legislation.

One major difference between the Metropolitan Police and County forces is that it appears that from January 2012 the number of persons on a PAT panel is reduced to 3 in the Metroplitan Police and it appears that for county police forces the number of persons on a PAT panel will remain as 4 until November 2012 when it will be reduced to 3 coinciding with the abolishment of police authorities and a member of the police authority would no longer be the 4th member of the panel as they police authority would no longer exist.

Please confirm whether this is the correct interpretation and provide any relevant documents with what appears to be an area which is causing some confusion.

Yours faithfully,

Independent Police Support Group
