The Minister for Policing, Fire, Criminal Justice and Victims (Mike Penning)
This is the first opportunity that I have had on the Floor of the House to congratulate Michael on his election. There were excellent results in the PCC elections around the country, particularly in relation to turnout. I was very conscious of the part that restorative justice played in the campaign. Restorative justice is an important component of helping victims, but we must make sure that victims want to be part of it and that it is not forced on them in any way.
Alan Brown (Kilmarnock and Loudoun) (SNP)
