Knives: Crime
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what progress he has made with Cabinet colleagues on the knife crime strategy.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
We are working hard with Cabinet colleagues to deliver our goal to halve knife crime within a decade. We published youth knife possession guidance that delivers tougher consequences for knife carriers. Our May Youth Justice White Paper outlines comprehensive reforms to ensure harmful behaviours are responded to – firmly, fairly, proportionately.
