Proceeding contribution from Chuka Umunna (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 August 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Disorder.


Public Disorder

On Sunday and Monday night we saw violence, looting and ransacking in my constituency and my borough. Some people out in the country have sought to attribute these acts to particular racial or religious groups. While we may not know the exact causes of all the events around the country, does the Prime Minister agree that people of all different religions and races were responsible and that to racialise this issue is gravely wrong and does our country a great misservice?
