Proceeding contribution from David Davis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Crime and Security Bill.

Crime and Security Bill

Although the Chairman of the Home Affairs Committee made an important point, he did not mention the fact that this is not just a question of one authority, but of an independent quasi-judicial authority. One of our difficulties is that the motivation of police chiefs and chief constables is to minimise crime at almost any cost. In my area—it is also the Home Secretary's area—of Humberside, we have a good chief constable who is very determined, but data are almost never handed back. The person who takes such decisions must have a more balanced view of the security regarding an individual and their rights.
