Proceeding contribution from Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 August 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Disorder.


Public Disorder

Does the Prime Minister realise that in times of economic downturn acquisitive crime always increases? The difference this week was that it was backed up by extreme violence and perpetrated by mobs. In that light, may I ask him to reconsider the cuts to police budgets? He will be seen as giving in not to mob violence, but to common sense.
