Proceeding contribution from Boris Johnson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 April 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Crime (London).
Crime (London)
I agree deeply with my hon. Friend's profound analysis of what is going wrong on London transport. The 100 per cent. tolerance of so-called minor disorder and minor crime on the buses and the tubes is aggravating more serious criminality on the streets and leading to the real scandal that a person is twice as likely to be mugged on our streets in London today as in New York. That is because we have 100 per cent. tolerance of so-called minor crime.
