Proceeding contribution from Colin Breed (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Crime and Security Bill.

Crime and Security Bill

I agree with the right hon. Gentleman about the need for agencies to work together. In my part of the world, the police have been praised by many people for that. The problem has been getting the Crown Prosecution Service to pursue cases. The police and other agencies—and I as a Member of Parliament—have been frustrated that we cannot seem to get the CPS to take these matters seriously. It appears to want to deal with bigger matters, as though it thinks antisocial behaviour is beneath it. That is wrong, and we need to ensure that cases are followed through.
