Collins concerned by apparent privacy breach
National
Party MP Judith Collins says she is concerned by the
apparent breach of privacy surrounding the David Benson-Pope
police report.
“I am very concerned that details from this
yet-to-be-made public report have appeared in the media
before being officially released by the police
tomorrow.
“Only on Friday Mr Benson-Pope was seeking to
have amendments made, so this premature release must also be
of grave concern to the Police Commissioner, as the proper
process does not appear to have been followed.
“Mr
Benson-Pope has continually said that it is for the police
to release the report.
“I will be writing to the Police
Commissioner requesting he make some inquiries with a view
to reassuring the public that private information held by
the police hasn’t been released by any police official for
political gain,” says Ms Collins.
