Tories wrong on crime figures and Labour wrong to claim credit – Huhne
Commenting on the spat over crime figures between Chris Grayling and Alan Johnson, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne said:
“The Conservatives are wrong to say that crime is rising, and Labour is wrong to claim the credit as crime is falling in every western European country except Belgium. Technology and demographics are doing the work.
“On crime, Labour and the Tories try to make up the figures as they go along.Only the Liberal Democrats can be trusted to follow the evidence of what works to cut crime.”
