Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 May 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Policing and Crime.


Policing and Crime

I hope I am right in sensing that my right hon. Friend is moving back from the left-wing, liberty agenda on DNA and CCTV. The police installed 14 cameras in what used to be a no-go area of east Leeds. Within 18 months, that led to crime falling by 48% and burglaries falling by 65%. Will she confirm that that did not restrict anybody's freedoms, but enhanced them by allowing people to go out at night, which is a freedom that they had been deprived of for many years?
