Stop Press: Shadow home secretary David Davis spelled out ...

Shadow home secretary David Davis spelled out his plans for a New York-style zero tolerance approach to crime at the Conservative Party Conference this week. He said the Government had "recruited 25,000 people who can't arrest anyone" adding: "We will respond by recruiting 40,000 police officers who can." He said there would be no more national targets, ring-fenced funding or Whitehall priorities, leaving police free to cut crime. He also pledged to "substantially cut" immigration to the UK.
