Use Of Tasers On Children
EDM number 1150 in 2013-14, proposed by George Galloway on 10/03/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Children and families and Police.
That this House is appalled that the use of Tasers on children by the Metropolitan Police has risen six-fold over four years; notes that according to the Children's Rights Alliance for England, and based on a Freedom of Information request, stun guns were used on 53 young people in the city in 2013 compared to nine in 2008; further notes that 70 per cent of the incidents occurred in four London boroughs, Croydon, Lewisham, Lambeth and Southwark; believes that children should never be subject to Taser assault; and calls on the Home Secretary to invoke an immediate ban on their use.
This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
