Part 9: Miscellaneous and General Chapter 1: Miscellaneous Section 161: Pilot schemes
This section forms part of the law of the United Kingdom.
	This section enables the Secretary of State to make regulations to bring sections 159 and 160 into force for a specified period of time in limited areas, to allow the section to be piloted on a limited basis before a national roll out. This is to ensure that police processes are robust and there are no adverse consequences on black and ethnic minority British nationals who are arrested on suspicions of having committed a criminal offence . Following the pilot, a report will be laid before Parliament on its outcome and effectiveness. This will include a full equality impact assessment.
