POLICE REFORM AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY BILL: Second Reading.
|
[Until 10.00 pm]
|
|
|
|
| |
That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill because it introduces
an expensive set of reforms which will do nothing to bring the police closer to the communities they serve; because it risks
a single elected politician remote from the frontline overruling operational policing decisions, thus ending one hundred and
seventy years of tradition of police independence from politicians; because it gives insufficient attention to the risks of
police force collaboration being undermined by the creation of individually elected police commissioners; and because the
Government has indicated that it will implement this expensive and disruptive reform in the same year as the Government is
making the biggest annual cut to police funding as set out in the Spending Review.
|
|
|
Debate may continue until 10.00 pm.
