Diane Abbott responds to analysis suggesting that major police forces are failing to investigate more than 50 percent of burglaries

31 Mar 2017
Diane Abbott MP, Labour’s Shadow Home Secretary, commenting on analysis suggesting that major police forces are failing to investigate more than 50 percent of burglaries, said: “These figures are deeply troubling. The Tories are in denial about the effects of their broken promises on police numbers, police effectiveness and the fight against crime.

“Not only is there more crime under this Government, but falling numbers of officers
have meant that the police are becoming less effective at fighting crime.”
