Statement on the events on Tottenham High Road

Having spoken with IPCC, local police and the Duggan family. David Lammy released following statement on events taking place in our community:

"The scenes currently taking place in our community are not representative of the vast majority of people in Tottenham. Those who remember the destructive conflicts of the past will be determined not to go back to them.

We already have one grieving family in our community and further violence will not heal that pain.

True justice can only follow a thorough investigation of the facts. 

The Tottenham community and Mark Duggan's family and friends need to understand what happened on Thursday evening when Mark lost his life. To understand those facts, we must have calm."
