Proceeding contribution from Richard Graham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 October 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate, Backbench debate and e-petition debate on The Riots.

The Riots

My hon. Friend is building a powerful case. Does he agree—he has already presented some figures—that those involved in the riots in London, as with the disturbances in Gloucester, were mostly people with previous convictions or warnings? Although there is much to be done to highlight opportunities, especially employment opportunities, we should not confuse the treatment of one with work on the other. Responsibility is key.
