In total, 33 written submissions were received in the course of the public consultation process undertaken by the Government during May 2014. With the Government approval I will very shortly publish a Bill to provide for the establishment of the Independent Policing Authority and the submissions have been taken into account in the preparation of this legislation.

I look forward to the introduction of the new Bill at an early stage and I will consider the question of publishing the submissions provided during the consultation process.
