Oral Answers to Questions

Gloria De Piero Excerpts

Monday 3rd December 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mr Hurd]

I shall certainly do that, not least as I have had similar experiences in my own constituency.

[Gloria De Piero (Ashfield) (Lab)]

This morning, I learned that a café in my constituency had been broken into for the third time this year. This is not an isolated incident: burglary in Nottinghamshire is up this year, as it was up last year. How much more evidence do we need to get more police on the streets?

[Mr Hurd]

In the police settlement that the hon. Lady voted against, additional funding has gone into policing, and, as I said, most police and crime commissioners are actively recruiting additional officers. I hope she welcomes that.
