Home Office minister John Denham has been criticised by the police for using the phrase "nitty gritty" because of race relations rules. Mr Denham used the phrase during a debate at the Police Federation conference in Bournemouth.
He was told that police officers could face disciplinary charges for saying "nitty gritty" because it dates from the slavery era.
Some rank-and-file officers say the rules about language have become "a minefield" and have made them inhibited in doing their job.
Has political correctness gone mad? How much care should be taken by police over language?
