Business of the House

On places for adult learners, investment in further education, including for adults, has been dramatic. On crime, I am happy at any stage to set our record on fighting crime against the record of the previous Conservative Administration. The simple fact is that in 18 years of Conservative Administration, crime doubled and by 1997 police numbers were going down.
