He also questioned the PM’s decision to scrap Labour’s measures to keep DNA evidence that could help in rape investigations.
David Cameron showed his clear ignorance of policy details and, as usual, blamed the previous government for everything. Is it just me who finds his repeated ploy of deflecting blame tedious? When is he going to start taking responsibility for the country? He is prime minister after all!
Best backbencher? Jessica Morden MP raised the crucial question about why single mothers are being charged to use the CSA for payments they are entitled to from absent fathers. As usual, Cameron had no real response and hid behind political point-scoring tactics.
