Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill: Committee (5th Day) (24 Jan 2012)
Lord Alton of Liverpool: ...through life. A few months ago we saw what happens when there is an unregulated approach to these matters. At Dale Farm there was a terrible culmination in violence that involved the use of Tasers. We saw the police having to be pitted against members of the Traveller community as they were evicted from their homes. That is not a sight that most of us want to see repeated on a regular...
[Mr Graham Brady in the Chair] — Policing (12 Jan 2012)
Julian Huppert: ...Under the Labour Government, ACPO-a largely unaccountable body-was given responsibility for safeguarding some of our basic human freedoms. A private company had the role of deciding how tasers should be used when such weapons, if misused, can be deadly. It had similar control over DNA. ACPO sent me an astonishing letter when questions were being asked about how people could...

In addition, I am advised that hand-held laser torches- I think it says laser, although it could be taser; I am reading my notes out because I have difficulty believing this-have been used at reservoirs with some success. I will leave my hon. Friend to work out exactly how. A PhD study is...
[Sir Alan Meale in the Chair] — Police Forces (5 Jul 2011)
Tom Brake: ...a matter for the police and crime commissioner. That requires further clarification, because if the police and crime commissioner, for example, decided that no money at all was going to be spent on Tasers, thereby stopping the police using them, some might argue that that was interfering with operational matters. It would be helpful to have further clarity on the circumstances surrounding...

Lord Carlile of Berriew: ...to operational matters and that of the other finance officer to the rather different strategic matters? There, perhaps, we have the answer to the question of the noble Lord, Lord Harris, about Tasers.

Lord Razzall: ...agree that the question goes slightly beyond the sale of military equipment and arms referred to in the Question asked by the noble Lord, Lord Alton?

Public Bill Committee: Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill (18 Jan 2011)
...and a chief constable negotiate the local policing plan. To the best of my knowledge, chief constables and police authorities up and down the land are not quibbling about whether the use of Tasers on a demonstration, or having officers work in pairs or wearing stab vests should go in the local policing plan. There is already a bit of collective wisdom and experience of doing this stuff....
Public Bill Committee: Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill (18 Jan 2011)
Julian Huppert: ...is a live issue within the Cambridgeshire police authority? Let us say that under the new model a police commissioner was elected, having said that they did not want officers in their force to use Tasers. If the chief constable wanted to use a Taser, whose decision would that be? I would be interested in a relatively brief response from all four of you, because this issue highlights the...

Mark Reckless: ...get the impression from Opposition Members that police forces operate and are directed in a political vacuum. Surely, it is entirely appropriate that police authorities should determine whether Tasers, for example, should be used. None of us would expect police to start using water cannon and that sort of operational tactic without political permission and oversight.
