Proceeding contribution from David Lammy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 April 2014. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Stop-and-Search.


Stop-and-Search

The Secretary of State will be aware that after the riots, the victims panel set up by the Government targeted section 60 blanket notices as the root cause of stop-and-search. I was also grateful to be able to serve on the review set up by the HMIC. I say to the Secretary of State that this will require legislation. I welcome the progress she has made, but section 60 came in through legislation and we need to change it through legislation.
