Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill (Programme) (No. 2)

On the point that the hon. Member for Birmingham, Selly Oak (Steve McCabe) just made, I note that my hon. Friend's amendment states that"““the police and crime commissioner shall have no involvement in decisions with respect to individual investigations””." If there were a high-profile murder, would my hon. Friend think it appropriate for the commissioner to say to a chief constable, ““I think you should put more resource into that investigation. What you are doing now is not sufficient and there is real community concern””? Or is my hon. Friend saying that that would be inappropriate?
