Mitchell Owed Apology, Says David Cameron
In the ongoing 'plebgate' row, the Prime Minister has said that police owe Andrew Mitchell an apology, adding that the conduct of three Police Federation officers was "not acceptable".
The police chiefs have suffered criticism over their decision not to discipline the officers involved in the row.
The dispute surrounds the officers' account of a meeting with Andrew Mitchell, of which the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said they should have faced misconduct hearings for misrepresenting what the former chief whip said in a private meeting last October about a row at the gates of Downing Street the month before.
The police chiefs are due to appear before a committee of MPs next week.
