Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 6 February 2019. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Offensive Weapons Bill.


Offensive Weapons Bill

My Lords, before the noble Lord replies, I had read this clause as primarily directed to the power to enter and search premises—in fact you have to do that—as well as a person. Can the Minister assure the Committee that, as well as the consultation she has mentioned, information and statistics will be kept that show the BAME profiles? I should not use the word “profile”, but the Minister will understand what I am saying. This is an issue we have brought up at other points in the Bill.
