Police Racism

Reports on the defeat in the Commons last night of a Lords
amendment to the Police and Criminal Evidence Bill which would
have restricted "stop and search" powers of the police. Also,
the 1922 Committee of Conservative backbenchers has warned the
Government of a "major backbench revolt" on Monday if it accepts
an amendment to the Bill which would make racial discrimination
by the police a disciplinary offence.
