Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police and Justice Bill.


Police and Justice Bill

If the Home Secretary is going to stop short of giving the power of arrest to PCSOs, will he consider giving them the power to disperse? As the law stands, unless a specific area is designated as a dispersal zone, PCSOs have a great deal of difficulty supporting full-time police officers in dispersing a large crowd of unruly youths.
