POLICE ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1970 - SECT 15

Annual and other reports by the Inspector General.

15.(1) The Inspector General shall, as soon as possible after the end of each
calendar year, submit to the Police Authority a general report in writing on
the carrying out by the police force of their functions during that year and
the Authority shall transmit that report or a copy thereof to the Minister who
shall lay a copy before each House of [the Parliament of the United Kingdom].

(2) The Inspector General shall, whenever so required by the Minister or the
Police Authority, submit to him or to them reports in writing on such matters
as may be specified in the requirement.

(3) If it appears to the Inspector General that a report in compliance with
any such requirement of the Police Authority as is mentioned in subsection (2)
would contain information which in the public interest ought not to be
disclosed, or is not needed for the discharge of the functions of the
Police Authority, he shall request that Authority to refer the requirement to
the Minister; and in any such case the requirement shall be of no effect
unless it is confirmed by the Minister.
