Labour has created 4,300 new crimes since taking power \u2013 including a ban on swimming in the wreck of the Titanic and on the sale of game birds shot on a Sunday.<\/p>\n

Gordon Brown has been the worst offender in this unprecedented \u2018legislative splurge\u2019, with his Government<\/a> creating new offences at the rate of 33 a month.<\/p>\n

Under Tony Blair<\/a>, Labour invented 27 new ways of criminalising the public every month.<\/p>\n

The \u2018crimes\u2019 range from swimming in the hull of the Titanic without the permission of a Cabinet Minister to \u2018disturbing a pack of eggs\u2019 when instructed not to by an authorised officer.<\/p>\n

In total, between 1997 and 2009, 4,289 new criminal offences were created \u2013 approximately one for every day ministers have been in office. It is twice the rate at which new crimes were created under the last Tory administration.<\/p>\n
