Proceeding contribution from Heidi Alexander (Labour) 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 has picked up on an important point that I would have liked to mention in my earlier comments. It is about the presence of hope and the belief in a positive future, which stopped many people from taking part in the riots. That is one of the key things that we must get right. In some of our inner-city areas, young people, people in their 20s, believe that they have real opportunities.
