"Police have refused to release the confidential report of an investigation into allegations that they improperly destroyed documents compiled on a Green party peer.

The allegations have been made by a police whistleblower who said officers destroyed documents recording the political activities of Lady Jones to prevent her obtaining them in what he called a “highly irregular” cover-up.

Sgt David Williams wrote to Jenny Jones outlining the allegations, in a letter that was disclosed in the Guardian in January. The peer asked the Metropolitan police to give her a copy of the report on the outcome of the investigation."
