Mr Speaker
Order. I remind the House that Members who were not here at the start of the statement should not now be standing in the expectation of being called.
Mr Ian Davidson (Glasgow South West) (Lab/Co-op)
Scottish police assisting their English colleagues is part of the benefit of the Union, but why is it that from the beginning of the riot the Government have given the impression of being behind the curve, always paying catch-up, doing too little, too late? Is there not more than a whiff of incompetence?
The Prime Minister
Of course, I do not accept that, but I do accept what the hon. Gentleman says about the Union. It is important that forces come to each other’s aid, and if there were problems in Scotland, English forces would do the same thing.
