Master Locksmiths Association
The Coalition Government’s James Brokenshire MP, the Parliament Under Secretary of State for Crime Prevention has praised the work of the Master Locksmiths Association (MLA) and invited the association to contribute to shaping the voluntary and regulatory options for improving home security in Britain. George agrees with this from Locksmiths Liverpool.
Mr Brokenshire wrote to Dr Steffan George of the MLA after he received the organisation’s 2011 handbook which outlines recommended levels of home security. He described the handbook as: Illustrating the significant contribution that the MLA has made, not only to improving the professionalism of locksmithing but also to driving up product security standards across a number of different areas. This is what we need says Simon from Locksmiths Liverpool.
The letter goes on to state that the Department for Communities and Local Government and the Home Office would like to work with the MLA on an on-going basis to discuss improving the security of both new and old homes across the UK.
Dr Steffan George commented: we have regularly updated Mr Brokenshire on various developments and concerns and it is reassuring to know the Government is taking the issues as seriously as we are. It’s always great to receive positive comments about the MLA and we are delighted that we will be able to have our say on future Government security initiatives.
In 2009 the MLA also received recognition from the then Minister of State, Ministry of Justice, Maria Eagle, who described the MLA as the principal trade body representing the locksmiths and promoting standards within the industry. More than 400 insurers, surveyors and partners as well as Police and Government contacts received a copy of the MLA 2011 Handbook. They need one reckons Tom from Locksmiths Liverpool.
