Business of the House

Business question from John Hemming (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 March 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
In Birmingham perhaps £1 million a year, and in my constituency perhaps £100,000 a year, is spent on clearing up graffiti tagging, yet it seems to be the Government’s policy that unless someone does more than £5,000-worth of damage, no more than a caution is necessary. Can we have a debate about how we can deter youths from tagging, perhaps by making them clear up the mess that they create?
