EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations revoke the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (Remote Reviews of Detention) (Specified Police Stations) Regulations 2003 with effect from 1st July 2004. Reviews of detention of persons arrested but not charged are required by section 40(1)(b) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. The reviews must be conducted by an officer of at least the rank of inspector. From 1st July 2004 such reviews will not be able to be conducted by way of video-conferencing facilities. Reviews of detention will be carried out in person or by telephone.

The use of video-conferencing facilities was being piloted at Alton and Winchester (North Walls) police stations in Hampshire. The pilot has now concluded and will be evaluated.
