PUTNEY'S
MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT TONY COLMAN
MP
Welcomes Queen's Speech
MP
for Putney, Tony Colman, welcomed the agenda set out in the
Queen's speech today.
The
speech laid out a comprehensive agenda in terms of tackling
crime and reforming the criminal justice system to put victims,
rather than offenders, first.
The
list of proposed legislation also includes measures to provide
extra protection against neighbours from hell and anti-social
tenants. The other central theme of the speech was that of
improving and reforming our public services.
Tony
Colman said:
"This
year's Queen's speech reflects well the priorities
of people in Putney and across the country. We all want
our streets to be safe and our public services to be the
best."
"I
am particularly pleased to see that anti-corruption legislation
has made it onto the list, the idea being to bring our currently
piecemeal legislation under one umbrella and coordinate
with other countries when tackling corruption, both at home
and abroad. White collar crime must be tackled as a priority"
Other
bills included in the government's agenda for this year include
licensing reform. It is hoped that licensing laws will be
made more flexible allowing some establishments to stay open
later, while at the same time providing stronger protection
for local residents.
As
always if any one would like to contact me on these or any
other issues, feel free to write to me at the House of Commons.
