6B
(1)
Sub-paragraph (2) applies if—
(a)
an inspector requires the chief officer of police of a police force to allow the inspector to have access to any premises occupied for the purposes of that force and to documents and other things on those premises, and
(b)
the requirement is imposed for the purposes of an inspection under section 54.
(2)
The chief officer must secure that the required access is allowed to the inspector.
(3)
Where there are reasonable grounds for not allowing the inspector to have the required access at the time at which the inspector seeks to have it, the obligation under sub-paragraph (2) has effect as an obligation to secure that the required access is allowed to the inspector at the earliest practicable time specified by the inspector after there cease to be any such grounds.
(4)
In this paragraph “document” and “inspector” have the same meanings as in paragraph 6A.
