Proceeding contribution from Justine Greening (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 May 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Policing in London.


Policing in London

My hon. Friend is making a valuable point. My experience locally is that because of constraints on back office resources, Putney police station opens for only three hours a day. It is pretty difficult for people to report crime when the police station is open at the very time when they are generally at work in London. That is possibly one of the reasons why recorded crime is going down.
