Conduct Of Police Officers At Stoke Newington Police Station

EDM number 598 in 1991-92, proposed by Brian Sedgemore on 31/01/1992.

That this House condemns those nasty, vile and corrupt police officers at Stoke Newington police station who have been engaged in drug trafficking and perverting the course of justice; is appalled that these officers should have betrayed the trust of people in Hackney in general as well as the trust of those who live in and around Sandringham Road, particularly those represented by the Montague Residents Association; notes that these officers have made a mockery of the way in which Hackney Council has co-operated with the police to get rid of drug dealing in Sandringham Road; notes that it now seems certain that at meetings and by letter Chief Superintendent Roy Clarke from Stoke Newington police station has misled the honourable Member for Hackney South and Shoreditch about the true nature of the problems because he himself has been duped by his own police officers; believes that this is a savage reflection of the greed and corruption of Tory Britain; and calls on the Home Secretary to set up an independent judicial enquiry.

This motion has been signed by a total of 11 MPs.
