Mr Steve Reed (Croydon North) (Lab)
The Government risk sounding very complacent about areas of crime that are still getting worse. Can the Minister explain the Government’s lack of action on violent assaults, which are up by 20% in London over the last year, and online banking fraud, which has soared by 70% nationally?
Lynne Featherstone
The national crime agency for banking fraud has been set up and people are, of course, coming forward to report crime when they previously did not.
