South Yorkshire Police have been accused of "sheer incompetence" by MPs in the way they dealt with the BBC over a search of Sir Cliff Richard's home.
Police and BBC News were criticised after the corporation was able to send cameras to the pop star's Berkshire home as officers arrived on 14 August.
Chief Constable David Crompton told the Home Affairs Select Committee the force was put in "a very difficult position".
Sir Cliff denies an alleged historical offence of sexual assault in Sheffield.
