Public Order Bill

Proceeding contribution from Rehman Chishti (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 March 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Public Order Bill.

Of course stop and search has a role to play, but it has to be applied appropriately and under the right criteria. As a barrister who has prosecuted and defended cases, and having been a member of the Home Affairs Committee, may I ask the Minister a question specifically about stop and search? How many individuals from diverse communities who have been stopped should not have been stopped in the first place? We need to have that data to know how to look at legislation moving forward. At the end of the day, we have to carry communities with us and ensure there is appropriate community cohesion. What is the figure?
