but only one of those five officers was interviewed by the independent office of police conduct.stuff. it is quite astounding. he says, i concluded the search warrants had been obtained u nlawfully warrants had been obtained unlawfully and i called for a vigorous investigation into the decision to apply for warrants. no such vigorous investigation has taken place. it is absolutely slamming the independent office of police conduct and the police. he says, who guards the guards? if you cannot rely on the people who are supposed to investigate people in position of power, who have failed to carry out theirjobs properly, where are we? some of these people are in prominentjobs are one of the five people involved in operation midland, was steve rod house, deputy assista nt midland, was steve rod house, deputy assistant commissioner at the time and is now on a £240,000 job as director—general of the national crime agency and is one of the country's top coppers. he has been exonerated, but it doesn't look like it will rest there. he is calling for the home secretary to take action, what

of this sort the police also as part of that enquiry misled a judge under oath. what puzzles me listening to you is why given that we have the independent office for police conduct,ing if those things need to be said, and instead we seem to have you saying it from a position outside whereas the people who setjob it is to regulate our saying something different. can you clarify that? that is not necessarily an unfamiliar situation and i‘m sure it‘s not unfamiliar to sir richard either. because people can take different judgments sir richard either. because people can take differentjudgments on the same set of facts. i would place great reliance in the judgment of sir richard henrqiures who was commissioned by the police to look at these. sorry to interrupt, are you basically saying we cannot rely on in this country on the regulator is responsible for regulating and overseeing the police? is responsible for regulating and overseeing the police ?|j is responsible for regulating and overseeing the police? i think we need an explanation from the iopc as to why they did not interview some of the officers they then went on to exonerate. and this is a question that sir r
