Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Disorder: Policing.


Public Disorder: Policing

My Lords, mention has been made of the number of officers involved. First, does the Leader of the House have any information on the numbers of officers who were brought in from forces outside London? Secondly, he will recall that, at the time of the G20 protests, there was a lot of concern that some officers were not showing their numbers clearly on their uniforms and therefore could not be identified. I understand that comment has been made that, although the number of officers was not large, some officers again could not be identified properly because their numbers were not displayed. Does he have any comment to make on that?
