Six programmes
3: The Judges' Rules
The Judges' Rules, which are supposedly our main bastion against oppressive conduct in police stations, have less force in law than the Highway Code. (London solicitor,
PAUL BOATENG)
I don't accept that they're not observed and I certainly don't accept that they're not enforced.
(LORD JUSTICE LAWTON)
The Judges' Rules which have operated since the beginning of the century, mainly to control what the police may and may not do to secure statements from suspects, arc currently one of the great burning issues in the administration of justice. Are reforms needed? If so. what should they be? Hugo Young discusses these questions with LORD JUSTICE LAWTON and two experienced High Court judges, MR JUSTICE DRAKE and MR JUSTICE PAIN; solicitor PAUL BOATENG: and barrister NEIL DENISON ; DETECTIVE CHIEF SUPT PHILIP CORBETT ; CHIEF CONSTABLE JOHN ALDERSON ; and others.

' The great principle of Gamesmanship we know. More humbly but not less ardently, if still on the lower rungs of the ladder, comes the Lifeman, pursuing each petty ploy till he, too, has achieved the state of One Upness ... Always alert and ready for the slight put-off. the well-timed provocation, which will get the other fellow down.'

The Great Parliamentary Fix
Whipping, like stripping, is best done in private.
(SIR FREDDIE WARREN. former Private Secretary to the Government
Chief Whip)
The first time one of the Whips hits the river it will be a great day for democracy.
(Backbench mp)
Of all the issues that divide the front and back benches in the House of Commons, it's perhaps the activities of the ' usual channels ' - the Government and Opposition Chief Whips - that cause the most bitterness and resentment. For the Chief Whips not only control their own members with a mixture of discipline and patronage, they also manage the business of Parliament itself.
Are the ' usual channels a necessary fix?
Former Chief Whips The Rt Hon William Whitelaw. mp. the Home Secretary, and The Rt Hon John Silkin. mp. Opposition Industry spokesman; the Speaker of the House of Commons, The Rt Hon George Thomas , mp, Mid its Leader. The Rt Hon Norman St John Stevas. mp. civil servants and a cross-section of critical backbenchers give their views to Robert Carvel Producer
