Stop-And-Search Powers To Be Put Before Public Consultation
How police in England and Wales use stop-and-search powers is to be put up for public consultation.
Figures for 2011-12 show that some 1.2m stops were used, with just 9% leading to an arrest.
It is understood that the Home Secretary will announce the consultation, saying that the power to stop-and-search people needs to be used "more carefully".
The full announcement by Theresa May is expected to be made in the Commons later on Tuesday.
