The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of recent trends in the level of crime committed by illegal migrants on residents in Wythall.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

This Government is determined to tackle crime irrespective of who has committed it. As part of the Plan for Change, our Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee will put officers and PCSOs back on the beat in every corner of the country, ensuring the police are visible, accessible and responsive to the communities they serve.

Our forthcoming Crime and Policing Bill will give the police the powers they need to crack down on the criminals who cause misery in our communities, and to tackle the scourge of serious violence on our streets.
