Lawrence police smear claims: Cameron demands investigation

"Peter Francis, who says he says he posed as an anti-racism campaigner, served in the Met's now-disbanded Special Demonstration Squad.

Undercover officer Peter Francis says he was instructed to find information that could discredit the Lawrence family and anti-racism campaigners.

Scotland Yard has refused to confirm or deny the claims made in the Guardian.

Home Secretary Theresa May is expected to set out details of an inquiry into the allegations in the Commons later."

Policing 'Hippocratic Oath' will fix bent coppers, MPs hope

"Police need to be as trusted by the public as doctors, MPs have said, in a report calling for a major shake-up of standards.

The Commons' home affairs committee wants the introduction of a new code of ethics and integrity comparable to the Hippocratic Oath taken by doctors at the start of their career.

Its report, published today, called for unified policing standards, a register of interests for chief constables and a scale of fines established by the College of Policing in cases of grave misconduct."
