Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the implications for her policies of the debate entitled Fighting and preventing excessive and unjustified use of force by law enforcement officers, which took place at the Council of Europe on 27 April 2022.
The government is committed to the principle that all police use of force must be reasonable, proportionate and necessary and this is set in law.
We recognise the crucial work of the Council of Europe and in particular the Parliamentary Assembly in this sphere, noting that recommendations will go to the Committee of Ministers in due course for appropriate review.
