Debate
Crime and Policing BillContribution
Some of us have been working on this for 25 years. We have been raising these issues and been fobbed off again and again by Government Ministers who really ought to have looked harder. The last time I raised covert human intelligence sources, it was with particular reference to children. I was assured that the numbers did not amount to more than 10. That is too many. One is too many. Somehow, we accept it as a useful way of finding out what gangs are doing.
