Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill.
Protection of Freedoms Bill
In Northern Ireland, we have a large expanse of CCTV. In my area, we have them in our town, but there is a demand coming from the general public. The right hon. Gentleman has given one example in which cameras have proved useful. In the town that I represent, the general public want CCTV. It has reduced crime in the town centre by 50%, car theft by 45% and theft of other items by 55%. Clearly, CCTV can deliver and is a sleeping policeman that reduces crime.
