Oral Answers to Questions

Jim Cunningham Excerpts

Monday 25th February 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Hurd]

Over the years we have taken action to tackle that and get the public finances under control—opposed by Labour—and we are now creating the conditions for increased public investment in policing, again opposed by Labour.
