Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether interviews are recorded when a person is interviewed by the police without legal representation.
This question was answered on 19th March 2019
Whenever a person suspected of committing an offence is questioned under caution about their involvement in an offence, the interview must always be recorded whether or not they have legal representation. These rules are set out in Codes C, E and F of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984.
