6B[F1(1)An inspector may serve on a person a notice requiring the person to allow the inspector access, which the inspector reasonably requires for the purposes of an inspection under section 54, to—U.K.

(a)premises that are occupied (wholly or partly) for the purposes of—

(i)a police force,

(ii)a local policing body,

(iii)a person providing services, in pursuance of contractual arrangements (but without being employed by a chief officer of police of the police force or its local policing body), to assist a police force in relation to the discharge of its chief officer's functions, or

(iv)any other person who is, by virtue of any enactment, carrying out any of the activities of a police force, and

(b)documents and other things on those premises.

(2)A notice under this paragraph must—

(a)specify or describe the premises to which the inspector requires access;

(b)specify the time when access is required (which may be immediately after the service of the notice).

(3)Where there are reasonable grounds for not allowing the inspector to have access to the premises at the time specified under sub-paragraph (2)(b), the requirement under this paragraph has effect as a requirement to secure that access is allowed to the inspector at the earliest practicable time specified by the inspector after there cease to be such grounds.

(4)An inspector may cancel a notice under this paragraph by written notice to the person on whom it was served.

(5)In this paragraph “document” and “inspector” have the same meanings as in paragraph 6A (and, for that purpose, the reference in paragraph (c) of the definition of “inspector” in paragraph 6A(11) to paragraph 6A is to be read as a reference to this paragraph).]]
