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


Crime (London)

While we are at it, could we have a third piece of honesty? Should not the Conservative party admit that it opposed funding increases? Conservative councils—and probably Liberal Democrat councils as well—consistently take credit for the falls in crime for which they opposed funding, and continue to claim that tax rises are unnecessary when they are exactly what paid for those extra police officers.
