Proceeding contribution from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Order Policing.
Public Order Policing
I accept that the police had a very difficult job to do last Thursday, but last night when I met students at the university of the West of England who had been in London to carry out a lawful and peaceful protest, I was disturbed to hear their accounts of how they felt the police had overstepped the mark, to see video footage of horses charging into protesters, and told of injuries from truncheons and so on. Can the Home Secretary assure me that if I write to her giving personal accounts from people who were there on Thursday, she will treat their complaints seriously?
