Danny Kruger

Reform UK — East Wiltshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 October 2025

Debate

Knife Crime

Contribution

I agree with every single word the hon. Lady said, except the implication—actually, I will just leave it in agreement. I respect what has happened in Scotland, and I welcome the reductions they have seen there, but my concern about the public health model is that it might mean we have an excuse not to think about the essential moral challenge of individuals understanding the difference between right and wrong, and the role of stable families in preventing crime. We would then have abused the valuable concept of a public health model.
