00:00There are three things we would do. We would leave the ECHR and deport the 10,000 foreign national offenders
00:05who are in our prisons.
00:07We would also manage the situation competently. We've seen 3,500 prison places being built but on hold for 18
00:15months because the government couldn't manage the contracts properly.
00:18And we would prioritise prison building within the finances available to us. Instead of prioritising welfare and more in benefits,
00:26we would prioritise building prison places and keeping the British public safe.
