Proceeding contribution from Diane Abbott (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 April 2014. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Stop-and-Search.
Stop-and-Search
The Home Secretary will be aware that concern about stop-and-search in urban communities goes all the way back to the 1980s and the original Brixton riots. Given that successive Governments have failed to act, she gets some credit from some of us for taking things as far as she has, but there is no single issue that poisons relationships between urban communities and the police more than stop-and-search. We all heard her say that unless the ratio between stops and arrests gets better, there will need to be legislation. She must be aware that she will be held to that.
