The College of Policing’s Authorised Professional Practice (APP) on Stop and Search provides further guidance for the police on the use of strip search.</p><p>We expect officers to follow the law and the best practice guidance set by the College of Policing in its APP. Any concerns about the use of strip searches should be raised with the relevant force or the Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC), who investigate serious matters involving the police. We will consider all recommendations made for the Home Office as a result of these investigations very carefully.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 25/04/2022 14:35:01 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2022 answer text <p>Drugs devastate lives, ruin families and damage communities. The Government is committed to driving down drugs supply in the UK through tough law enforcement against the sale of drugs online, including on the dark web.</p><p>We work closely with the National Crime Agency, which in partnership with policing colleagues across the UK and internationally is mapping and targeting key offenders operating online, including the dark net markets themselves. Dedicated teams use a range of tools and techniques generally unavailable to most investigators and we make sure they have the resources and powers they need to keep our country safe.</p><p>We are clear that online companies must not allow their platforms to be used to sell illegal drugs and our Online Safety Bill will force them to remove this content or face large fines, with drugs-related offences to be included as a priority offence within the bill. This will require companies to identify, mitigate and effectively manage the risk of illegal activity on user-to-user services, services that allow user generated content to be shared and search services.</p><p>The Online Safety Bill is expected to be introduced to Parliament later this year.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 25/02/2022 12:21:51 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
