Furthermore, Wales will benefit from additional specialised police officers, ensuring that Wales is at the forefront of the fight against terrorism and organised crime. Recent statistics show that despite the COVID-19 pandemic, crime in England and Wales has reduced by 6 per cent in the 12 months to September 2020, highlighting that the UK Government's investment in our police is delivering results.

While the Conservatives are supporting the police and delivering safer streets, Welsh Labour and Plaid are obsessing over the devolution of justice, legalising drugs and votes for convicted criminals. The Welsh Government's Commission on Justice in Wales report recommended the full devolution of justice to the Welsh Government, yet this fails to recognise the cross-border nature of criminal activity and the importance of working together to tackle crime. Any devolution of criminal justice may hinder collaborative working between police forces in Wales and elsewhere in the UK. Presiding Officer, the UK Conservative Government is delivering on the priorities of the people of Wales by ensuring that there are more police officers on our streets, as well as emphasising its commitment to deliver the resources our police forces need. Many thanks.
