The hon. Member for Broxbourne (Mr. Walker) has told us what happened when he was stopped. He is clearly not black. Obviously, the police were not after his doughnuts. They stopped him because he seemed to be obeying the law. So as part of the deal to vote for more police powers, will my hon. Friend and his colleague, the Minister for Security, Counter-Terrorism, Crime and Policing, ensure that the police understand that, in giving them more powers, we want them to act sensitively, whether towards black people or people who are not black?
