VIDEO: Should private firms police the Olympics?

Following the fiasco involving the G4S security firm - who have now said that they may be unable to supply the 10,000 security officers for the 2012 Olympics - today in Parliament I asked the Home Secretary to consider whether private security firms should be involved at all in future state events.

To the Home Secretary's credit, she came to Parliament to answer questions - even though the mistake had actually been made by private firm G4S.

Given that the British Army has now been drafted in, G4S now have serious questions to answer. You can watch the full video above.
