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


Public Disorder

The vast majority of people in Scotland share the anger and frustration of the victims of these crimes, but they are extremely disappointed at the First Minister's statement that this is an English problem. I welcome the Prime Minister's statement that he will seek advice from Strathclyde police. Will he extend that to the judicial system in Scotland, which took seriously the concerns of the police and community and imposed appropriate sentences?
