RACHEL BROOKING (Labour): Thank you, Mr Speaker, for this opportunity to speak on the Prime Minister's statement and the year ahead. Before I get started into what I'm really wanting to talk about, I would after that last speech like to acknowledge, as I have done over the past few days whenever encountering a police officer, and thank them for the great work that they are doing. In terms of the year ahead, hopefully we can focus on some other issues as well.
