Water Cannon
EDM number 984 in 2013-14, proposed by Sarah Teather on 22/01/2014.
Categorised under the topic of Police.
That this House notes with concern plans to equip the Metropolitan Police with a water cannon; further notes that no water cannon are currently in use on mainland Britain; recognises the physical harm water cannon can inflict, as demonstrated by their use in Germany; believes that the introduction of a water cannon onto London's streets would run against our tradition of intelligence-led, community policing; and calls on the Mayor of London and the Metropolitan Police to abandon these plans.
This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
