RAILWAY STAKES — POLICE PRESENCE
Can the minister advise the house whether the proposed new stop-and-search laws will be used to help enforce his liquor licensing laws? Mr T.K. WALDRON

AnswerView source ↗

The stop-and-search laws will be applied in restricted areas when those areas are designated as such. I support the stop-and-search laws. I have four young daughters—one is not so young now—who go out at night. I want to make sure that they are safe when they go out. I support those laws.
