Motion Text
That this House expresses its deep concern at the use by the Metropolitan Police of CS gas spray on UK Uncut campaigners protesting at tax avoidance by Boots; considers that this is a disproportionate use of force on peaceful campaigners; and calls on the Home Secretary to establish an independent public inquiry into this incident with a view to reviewing the guidelines for the use of CS spray by the police.
