HC Deb 30 October 2002 vol 391 c868W
28. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what discussions he has had with the First Secretary on community safety, and if he will make a statement. [76085]

Mr. Touhig

My right hon. Friend and I have regular discussions with Assembly Ministers about matters affecting Wales.

The Assembly and the Crime Reduction Unit for Wales have key roles in promoting community safety.

We have seen a period of intense activity which has resulted in the local partnership approach making a real impact, backed by funding of £22 million from the Government and the National Assembly.
