Proceeding contribution from Shona McIsaac (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 October 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Fireworks Safety.


Fireworks Safety

I was burgled at that time of year, although it happened a good few years ago. The police told me that crime peaks during that period because the noise masks many of the tell-tale signs. When rockets are being let off, people can smash windows and the neighbours will not hear. It is not that the police are necessarily elsewhere.
