Labour comments on Government introducing new protest laws in the Queen's Speech

Sarah Jones MP, Labour’s Shadow Policing Minister, commenting on Government introducing new protest laws in the Queen’s Speech, said:

“Home Office Ministers should be asking themselves why they are taking no action to tackle the shameful collapse in prosecutions, put more rapists behind bars or crack down on criminal fraudsters scamming the vulnerable. 

“After more than a decade of Tory government victims of crime are being let down. The Government is completely out of ideas, and it is communities across the country who are paying the price.”
