Labour hit out at the 'shameful' effect of police stop-and-search powers
Labour hit out yesterday at the "shameful" effect the police's stop-and-search powers have on ethnic minority communities.

Ms Cooper also called for current guidance on avoiding race discrimination to be replaced with legislation.
