Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Baroness Teather (Liberal Democrat), on Wednesday, 22 January 2014, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 16 members in total.
WATER CANNON
That this House notes with concern plans to equip the Metropolitan Police with a water cannon; further notes that no water cannon are currently in use on mainland Britain; recognises the physical harm water cannon can inflict, as demonstrated by their use in Germany; believes that the introduction of a water cannon onto London's streets would run against our tradition of intelligence-led, community policing; and calls on the Mayor of London and the Metropolitan Police to abandon these plans.
