Protection of Freedoms Bill

I thank the right hon. Gentleman for the correction. That is one camera for every 14 people in this country. That compares with other countries that also have interests in law enforcement. Chicago, with a population of 3 million, has something like 10,000 cameras. That is a 20th of what we have. Do we know something that they do not? Across the United States, they use fewer cameras. The truth about CCTV is that it is not an all-or-none issue. It has its uses and its abuses, which is why we need this code of practice. It has its costs for running and monitoring the systems and it has privacy implications, which is why I absolutely support the Government's proposals. I hope that the right hon. Member for Delyn will withdraw the new clause.
