Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Policing and Crime Bill.


Policing and Crime Bill

In the Government's response to the legislative scrutiny Committee, there is a statement about the process that my hon. Friend the Minister has set out. It says that a person will end up in police detention only as a last resort, and that the period of detention will be as short as possible. Is there any estimate of the numbers that will be detained? What is the shortest estimated time scale for detention itself?
