Beyond that, we need to examine the broader facilities available to those communities, which in many respects are grossly inadequate, in order that the leaders in those communities can work with young people, families and children to give them a sense of what investment in communities can deliver, namely, the opportunity and hope that they can have a better life.

In the meantime, the response is now on the street to assure people that, despite the murderous activities and attempted killings, the Government and all of us as representatives stand with these communities. I do not just say that; I will prove it. We will engage with them, hear their views, anxieties and concerns and deliver on them. In the immediate, medium and longer term, I assure everybody in the House that we will follow through diligently with these actions.
