§ Mrs. RocheTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to introduce ethnic monitoring throughout the criminal justice system.
§ Mr. Maclean[holding answer 23 December 1993]Ethnic monitoring of stop and search by the police was introduced nationally in April 1993. On present plans I anticipate that by 1995 the police will also be in position to monitor arrests and cautions. Our ultimate intention is to extend monitoring throughout the criminal justice system, but at present it would be premature to forecast when that goal will be achieved.
