MPA Chair Kit Malthouse Statement: Investigation into alleged payments made to officers by News of the World
31/11
6 July 2011
"This morning I had discussions with the Commissioner about the ongoing investigation into whether officers were paid by the News of the World for information. The Commissioner has assured me that at this time he has not seen any evidence requiring referral to the MPA in respect of any senior officer.
"I also discussed this matter with the IPCC and I am content with the assurances they have given me regarding their involvement in the investigation thus far.
"The MPA has an important governance role to play where the conduct of senior officers is concerned and we will continue to be briefed as the investigation proceeds."
