Thank you for your answer to my question 2014/3189. Please confirm that MOPAC will not look into the two inadequate investigations carried out by the Metropolitan Police into the use of CS gas against UK Uncut protestors in which the Independent Police Complaints Commission found the Met "failed to conduct a fair and proportionate investigation" and that the Met's report was "brief, poor and reveals very little evidence that sufficient enquiries have been made."

Thank you for your answer to my question 2014/3189. The IPCC found that had they reviewed the appeal by UK Uncut protestors earlier they may have suggested it be sent to the Crown Prosecution Service because "the improper use of CS spray would most probably amount to common assault". However, because the six month statutory time period for prosecution had passed the IPCC no longer considered it appropriate. Are you satisfied that no further action should be taken into the two inadequate investigations carried out by the Metropolitan Police?
