The IPCC is to carry out an independent investigation into the conduct of three Police Federation representatives following their meeting with Andrew Mitchell MP at his Sutton Coldfield constituency office in October 2012.

The IPCC had previously supervised an investigation by West Mercia Police  into the conduct of the three representatives from West Mercia, Warwickshire and West Midlands Police Federations, but the case was re-determined by IPCC Commissioner Jan Williams following a High Court ruling on 6 October 2014.

The High Court found that there was no proper final report prepared for the supervised investigation and that the decision of the three police forces that there was no case to answer for any of the officers was invalid.
