Proceeding contribution from Charles Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Violent Crime Reduction Bill.


Violent Crime Reduction Bill

I think that there is an issue of enforcement generally. The Bill’s key message is that powers need to be enforced more effectively, but we must also ensure that the police have the powers that they need to deal with offences. Part of the problem, as I have said, is behaviour in certain localities in towns and cities.
