Discusses Waddington's views on the effect of police practice of
constitutional changes in the powers of police committees, and
on the political implications of such changes. Distinguishes
between accountability and partisan politics and argues that the
statutory position of committees under the Police Act 1964 protects
them from undue political pressure from the local authority. 20
