Racist Incidents (EDM1957)

Racist Incidents

EDM number 1957 in 2005-06, proposed by Keith Vaz on 30/03/2006.

That this House is appalled by the latest Home Office figures from 2004-05 indicating that racist incidents recorded by the police are up by 12 per cent. to 59,257; further notes that the stop and search policy by police officers has gone up by 14 per cent. to 838,700; is dismayed that the figures show that black people were six times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people and that Asian people were twice as likely to be stopped and searched; and calls on the Minister responsible to review the equality agenda to ensure that enough effort is made to tackle inequality and discrimination, which are the underlying causes of these disappointing figures.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
