Personal Explanations — Oral Questions—Misattribution of Quotation in Supplementary Question →
Time unknown
Point of order, Mr Speaker. I seek leave to make a personal explanation to correct an answer to an oral question.
💬 SPEAKER: Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection? There appears to be none.
On 13 February 2025, in response to the supplementary questions in oral question No. 9, I stated that “Evidence tells us that youth crime was at an all-time high,”. What I should have said is that in relation to serious and persistent youth offending—which I understood was the context of the questioning—the increase was at an all-time high. This is according to the Ministry of Justice’s latest youth justice indicators report, which has data back to 2013-14.
