Cameron outlines action against riots

Thursday, 11 August 2011 11:13

davidcameron2 Prime Minister David Cameron has said that every contingency is being looked at to restore law and order and that 'picture by picture' the criminals are being identified and arrested.

"We will not let any phoney concerns about human rights get in the way of the publication of these pictures and the arrest of these individuals," he added.

Speaking after a further COBRA emergency planning meeting, the PM said a "major fightback was working" with over 750 arrests so far and sentences being passed round the clock with courts sitting through the night last night to prosecute those involved.

Mr Cameron also said a "more robust approach" by Scotland Yard last night had prevented a repeat of the worst trouble.

Continued violence was unacceptable, the PM said, and stressed that "whatever resources the police need they will get" including contingency plans for water cannons to be available at 24 hours' notice.

The PM, who called for a clearer code of responsibility to fix the pockets of "broken and sick society", said we had seen the worst as well as some of the best of Britain.

"We need to have a clearer code of values and standards that we expect people to live by and stronger penalties if they cross the line. Restoring a stronger sense of responsibility across our society, in every town, in every street, in every estate is something I'm determined to do."

Tomorrow, there will be a COBRA meeting as well as a Cabinet meeting. The PM will then deliver a statement to the House of Commons setting out in full the Government's response to the violence in England.

House of Lords Trip

On Thursday 30th June Nottingham Conservatives Business club had a fantastic tour of the House of Lords by courtesy of Lord Taylor of Holbeach. The party then moved on to the exquisite luxury of the Carlton Club for a superb dinner. The event started with a political discussion in a House of Lords committee room chaired by Nottingham South Vice-Chair James Spencer, which covered topics ranging from House of Lords Reform to the thorny issue of the widening of the A453.

Unfortunately, being held up in the chamber debating the government's proposed local government bill, Lord Taylor could not make the political discussion. However, we were really pleased and honored to be visited by Baroness Hanham and Lord Atlee (grandson of the late Sir Clement Atlee) who answered our questions.

After finishing his debate, Lord Taylor took us for a no-holds-barred tour of both the House of Lords and the House of Commons; an experience which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Dinner was at the exclusive Carlton Club in London's St James' area and held in the beautiful surroundings of the Cabinet Room; a room dined in by many of the Conservative Party's most famous faces, including Baroness Thatcher. The food was exquisite and was the perfect end to a great day.
