Reaction to the IPCC statement on the 9/8/2011

Reacting to the latest IPCC statement on the ballistic results regarding the death of Mark Duggan, David Lammy said:
 

These are very serious developments. A man has been shot and his family deserve to know exactly what happened. But let me be clear: what will help no-one is a further round of violence and disruption. The young people who are causing immense distress to families and local businesses across the country are not acting in the name of the Duggan family or of the people of Tottenham. We will not let those intent on violence distract from this very serious investigation.

It is imperative that the IPCC investigation is as thorough and transparent as is possible. The Duggan family need to understand all of the circumstances leading up to and surrounding his death. They are constituents of mine and I will scrutinise each stage of this process. Through the investigation, the IPCC must demonstrate its worth and establish the truth about what happened on Thursday night.
