Scientologists' Gifts To London Police Questioned

The British press has disclosed that London police officers have accepted gifts and entertainment worth thousands of pounds from the Church of Scientology. Reuters on Wednesday reported that the police department has opened a review of its hospitality policy after it was disclosed that invitations to charity dinners, music concerts and a film premiere were among the gifts, most of which were approved by senior officers. Police apparently developed a relationship with Scientologists when the group helped police last July in dealing with the suicide attacks on the London transit system.
