Police Scotland is facing demands to require officers to declare if they are members of the Freemasons. It comes after the Metropolitan Police in London brought in the policy for officers and staff amid longstanding fears over police corruption linked to freemasonry. The centuries-old, men-only organisation requires new members to take an oath of loyalty to the fraternity’s principles and to helping fellow masons. There is no policy requiring police in Scotland to divulge if they are members but the force said they are “monitoring” developments south of the border. Masonic lodges have previously been linked to an “old boy network” within Scottish policing that it’s claimed contributed to the botched probe into Emma Caldwell murderer Iain Packer.

He also, on the same day, asked Temporary Deputy Chief Constable Jen Mattinson to undertake a voluntary referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) in relation to any recordable conduct matters by senior officers in West Midlands Police in relation to these events.

The Government has two months to respond. On 16 October 2025, it was announced that the Birmingham City Council Safety Advisory Group (SAG)1 had decided that the fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv would not be allowed to attend the 6 November Europa League fixture at Aston Villa. Following this announcement we wrote to the then Chief Constable of West Midlands Police to request further information about the risk assessment for the fixture and the basis on which the SAG was advised not to allow away fans to attend. We intended to give West Midlands Police the opportunity to respond to some of the criticism of the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, as well as to provide transparency about the reasons for what was a highly unusual decision with serious implications. In their response of 21 November, West Midlands Police failed to provide the key details we requested, including a copy of the full risk assessment presented to the SAG. In providing an assessment of events in Amsterdam in November 2024 (when Maccabi Tel Aviv played Ajax), which informed their decision, they also relied upon claims relating to responsibility for violence around this fixture which were subsequently disputed by the Dutch Police.

Police Oracle - Subscription at source 22/2/2026 News Our police, their rules: The Welsh injustice. It was a four-word answer that echoed across the floor of the House of Commons, reverberating all the way down the M4 to Cardiff Bay. When asked if the major restructuring of UK policing was the right moment to finally devolve powers to Wales, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood didn’t hesitate. “No, I do not.” With that blunt dismissal, the UK Labour government didn’t just shut down a request from Plaid Cymru.
