Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Disorder (NUS Rally).


Public Disorder (NUS Rally)

May I join those on both Front Benches in congratulating the Metropolitan police Commissioner on admitting what went wrong yesterday and holding a thorough investigation? I am sure that members of the Home Affairs Select Committee will be keen to look at those findings, especially in view of the criticism that the police received following the G20 protests, to find out whether they might have felt the need to adopt a different approach. Everyone has rightly condemned the violence. Has the Minister received any information that lecturers were also involved in organising this protest? If that is the case, and it is more than just anecdotal information, will he speak to Ministers at the Department for Education to ensure that their establishments look carefully at the way in which their employees have behaved?
