The prime minister said he wanted to 'make sure that my kids and everyone else can walk around safely'.
The prime minister said his eldest child had wanted to walk to her primary school by herself when she turned 11, adding this had been the reason why his family had previously moved out of their Downing Street flat and closer to her school before he resigned as chancellor.
On tackling crime, he said people in disadvantaged backgrounds were more likely to be affected by crime and he wanted to "deliver for those people" by putting more police officers on the street. Labour has accused the government of "taking an axe to the vital services that are there to protect us all".
He said he was not particularly comfortable with prison numbers going up, but the funding was in place to have the capacity to do it.
