motion_title: Opposition Day— [4th Allotted Day]: Crime and Policing
motion_text:  Question put forthwith (Standing Order No. 31(2)), That the proposed words be there added.
   The House divided: Ayes 324, Noes 230.
  Amendment:
  I beg to move an amendment, to leave out from "House" to the end of the Question and add:
  "notes the appalling fiscal deficit left by the last Government and reiterates the urgent need to restore the nation to economic health; recognises that the police will need to play their part in reducing that deficit; and welcomes the Government's proposed policing reforms, which will deliver a more responsive and efficient police service, less encumbered by bureaucracy, more accountable to the public and, most importantly, better equipped to fight crime."
