But during that time the only group this Labour Government’s popularity has increased with is criminals. The Government’s scheme was introduced to create space inside jails in England and Wales as they reached capacity. Ms Davies-Jones later said Labour was the “party of law and order” after Mr Jenrick argued the Government should be building more prisons. Mr Jenrick (Newark) said: “There were exemptions in the previous government’s scheme, but the key thing is we need to get on and build more prisons. Since coming into office we have returned more than 1,500 foreign offenders and I am pleased to say that we are currently on track to remove more foreign offenders this year than at any time in recent years.”Share this: FacebookTwitterEmail
