Proceeding contribution from Harry Cohen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 April 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Crime (London).


Crime (London)

Earlier in his speech, the hon. Gentleman slipped in the remark that, if the Conservatives won the election, they would redistribute parts of the crime budget. That would be their prerogative, but the current Mayor has offered London boroughs some £79 million to help in the provision of youth facilities. In many cases, the areas that would benefit are the ones with the most gun crime. Would the Conservatives cut that money, or redistribute it away from those areas?
