Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Tony Wright (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 26 October 2009 on behalf of the Home Office.
Policing
- Question
- At the weekend we changed the clocks, making it light at 6 o'clock in the morning and dark at 6 o'clock in the evening. Does my right hon. Friend believe that that is helpful or unhelpful to the criminal classes, and to police on the beat?
- Answer
-
I think that ultimately the criminal classes will try to find ways to undertake crime, and the police will always find ways to stop them, whether it is dark or light. However, I shall refer my hon. Friend's comments to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, which is the appropriate Department to regulate these matters.
