Police Covenant Oversight Board

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans her Department has to reconvene the Police Covenant Oversight Board; and if she will include the National Association of Retired Police Officers in the membership of that Board.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

The Police Covenant Oversight Board was most recently convened in January, with the next meeting planned for the Spring.

Beyond the oversight board, interested organisations, such as the National Association of Retired Police Officers, are engaged on the Covenant through a consultation group.

Individual organisations may be invited to attend the oversight board, as they have in the past, where specific discussions are of particular relevance to the interests of those they represent.
