Knives: Crime
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress she has made on the implementation of her planned coalition to tackle knife crime.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
The Prime Minister launched the Coalition to Tackle Knife Crime in September 2024, bringing together campaign groups, families of those who have tragically lost their lives to knife crime, young people who have been impacted and community leaders, united in their mission to save lives.
The Coalition has already met six times to discuss key issues with further engagements planned over the coming months. We remain committed to drawing on a range of experiences and voices in our ambition to halve knife crime in the next 10 years.
