James McMurdock

Independent — South Basildon and East Thurrock

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 January 2025

Debate

Social Housing Tenants: Antisocial Behaviour

Contribution

I appreciate the hon. Gentleman raising the point about stability, and I absolutely agree. In the vast majority of cases, where good people are contributing to society and making the most of their situation, stability goes a long way. But we also have to consider the point about a deterrent being necessary, because we cannot have the good people of this world being held to ransom by the bad. There have to be consequences for the bad, even if we do not necessarily like those consequences. Does the hon. Gentleman agree?
