Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Bournemouth Borough Council Bill [Lords].
Bournemouth Borough Council Bill [Lords]
Does my hon. Friend remember the sus laws that obtained when we were young barristers together? There was a great campaign to remove them because it was felt that they gave the police far too much power to arrest people, often from ethnic minorities, simply on suspicion. Can he assure me that we are in no way creating powers parallel to the old-fashioned sus laws that we swept away in the late 1980s?
