“What steps her Department is taking to ensure that the police are adequately funded to enable them to reduce crime.”

the Secretary of State for the Home Department
Answer from Hansard
The Minister for Policing and Crime Prevention (Dame Diana Johnson)
The Government are determined to crack down on antisocial behaviour, and tackling it is a central theme of our safer streets summer initiative, which is currently under way in over 500 towns. Our Crime and Policing Bill will provide policing with a suite of new powers to tackle antisocial behaviour, including respect orders to get persistent offenders out of town centres, and stronger powers to seize dangerous and deafening off-road bikes. I again remind the House that the Conservatives voted against those measures recently.
