Andrew Mitchell is "owed an apology" by police over the 'plebgate' row, Prime Minister David Cameron has said.
Mr Cameron told the Commons the conduct of officers from the Police Federation towards the former minister was "not acceptable".
Three police chiefs have been criticised over their decision not to discipline officers accused of trying to discredit Mr Mitchell.
The police chiefs will appear before a committee of MPs next week.
Home Affairs Select Committee chairman Keith Vaz said they had questions to answer.
On Tuesday, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said the officers should have faced misconduct hearings for misrepresenting what former chief whip Mr Mitchell said in a private meeting about a row at the gates of Downing Street last September.

After an internal investigation into the matter, the chief constables of West Mercia, Warwickshire and West Midlands Police concluded there was no case to answer for misconduct.
But speaking to the House of Commons, Mr Cameron said Mr Mitchell was "owed an apology - the conduct of these officers was not acceptable", and "these things should be properly investigated".
'Highest standards'A spokesman for Number 10 said: "Incidents such as this do bring people to question their trust in the police."
But he went on to stress that the majority of officers "operate to the highest standards and do a very dangerous job on behalf of the public".
