Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 October 2024

Debate

Police Accountability

Contribution

The hon. Member makes an important point. As part of the accountability review, concerns were raised around recruitment and retention, especially from people concerned about the impact on their families. That family issue is so important. That is why we have the presumption of anonymity to the point of conviction and some of the wider reforms, which will, I hope, maintain confidence among communities and police officers.
