Baroness Nuala O'Loan:

Perhaps I could clarify, if I were to comment on a position taken by Government it would be in the context of whether the position was properly informed and things of that nature. It would have to be within the remit. The reason I asked the Senator to clarify her question was because I was not quite sure what it was. I think it is profoundly important that GSOC can look at police policy in practice and comment on it.

If the Government is deciding to spend X% of its policing and security budget on an aspect of policing, such as renewing all the fleet, is the Senator asking if that is a matter on which GSOC should comment? I am sorry, I do not think I have clarity on what the Senator meant.
