Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor John Wheeler (Conservative), on Tuesday, 25 February 1992, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 19 members in total.


INTERFERENCE WITH THE POLICE

That this House condemns the Labour Party's pledge, repeated in its latest Home Affairs policy document, to sweep magistrates from their places on police authorities; believes that the replacement of magistrates by elected members is designed to strengthen political control of police authorities; and deplores Labour Party plans to interfere with and frustrate the ability of police to exercise professional judgement in deciding how best to respond vigorously to crime.
