Labour — Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 November 2024

Debate

Retail Crime

Contribution

I do not know if it is just amnesia on that side of the House, but I think the Shadow Minister needs to reflect on what we actually inherited: PCSOs cut by 50%, specials down by two thirds and over 20,000 police officers cut under the Conservative Administration. So a little bit of humility about what they have left us with would go down very well.
