answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2015 answer text <p>The Government supports the need for transparent and accurate data on how the police are using force. That is why the Home Secretary asked Chief Constable David Shaw to carry out an in depth review of Taser data and other use of force. The review will present options for collecting, collating and publishing data on how force including Taser is being used by the police, who it is being used on, and what the outcomes are. Chief Constable David Shaw’s Use of Force Data Review is expected to report to the Home Secretary later this year. As with sensitive powers like stop and search, the police use of force warrants proper accountability and transparency.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning grouped question UIN 11920 question first answered 21/10/2015 15:44:26 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning previous answer version 24211 answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
