Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 April 2014. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Stop-and-Search.


Stop-and-Search

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. The figure in the HMIC survey showing that 27% of stop-and-searches did not have reasonable grounds was shocking. That is precisely why we will change the code of conduct—“Code A”—under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act to make absolutely clear what reasonable grounds of suspicion are.
