Conservative — Aldridge-Brownhills

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 October 2025

Debate

Sentencing Bill

Contribution

I am grateful to my right hon. Friend for making that point, because many of us will have examples in our constituencies of families who have been tragically affected by knife crime. Some go on to do amazing work to educate young people, but at the same time it is important that where a sentence has been given, it is carried out and that that deterrent is in place. Yet again, we are seeing the removal of deterrent by the Labour Government.
