Chancellor ignores rising violence and worsening prison crisis – Ed Davey

by Steve Beasant on 30 October, 2018

Responding to the Chancellor yesterday Liberal Democrat MP Edward Davey said: 

“Given the sharp rise of serious violence on our streets and the worsening crisis in our prisons, it’s almost unbelievable that the Chancellor’s Budget contained not a single penny to tackle these problems.

“Merely promising to ‘review police spending power’ isn’t nearly good enough.

Liberal Democrats demand better. We are calling for an extra £300 million a year to boost community policing and urgent investment to recruit more prison officers.”
