Mr Rees-Mogg
I am well aware of that important issue and I will pass it on to the relevant Minister.
Janet Daby (Lewisham East) (Lab)
The power to stop and search young people is viewed as useful in reducing serious youth violence. Will the new Leader of the House agree to a debate on that issue in Government time?
Mr Rees-Mogg
If Members would only bate their breath momentarily, the new Prime Minister will soon make a statement. He has already advocated ensuring that the police have our support for stop and search, and there may therefore be the opportunity to ask him about that in a moment.
