“What steps he is taking to assist authorities in Trinidad and Tobago to repatriate their citizens stranded in the UK as a result of the closure of that country's borders in response to the covid-19 pandemic.”
Answering Minister
the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs
Answer from Hansard
The Prime Minister
May I congratulate Kevin and thank police across our country who are working hard to protect our communities? The Conservative party decimated local policing, and we are restoring it. There will be 3,000 more neighbourhood police on our streets by spring, which is an example of the change that people will feel this year. Our Crime and Policing Bill will give officers more powers to tackle knife crime, shoplifting and antisocial behaviour. I want officers to have those powers as swiftly as possible; the Tories and Reform voted against them.
