Coroners and Justice Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Coroners and Justice Bill.
Another hon. Gentleman on the Opposition Front Bench asks me to name the triumphs. I could name a number of them, but I shall name just one. According to the Conservative campaign guide of 1994, crime rose by 50 per cent. between 1979 and 1994. Under this Labour Government, crime has fallen by 39 per cent., which makes this the first Government since the war to achieve a fall in crime.
