Policing and Crime Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jack Dromey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 April 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Policing and Crime Bill.

That is absolutely right. I will mention something similar in a moment. If we have volunteers—I again stress that there is a long and honourable tradition of volunteers working in and with our police service—we must, to be frank, go the extra mile to ensure that they are not subject to risk or harm. If they are ill-trained and there is no framework of accountability, issuing them with CS gas and leaving them to get on with it might lead to very serious consequences indeed, not just for members of the public but for the volunteers themselves.
