Debate
Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) (Amendment, Surrender and Compensation) (England and Wales) Order 2025Contribution
We support the intent behind the order. Its measures are appropriate and proportionate. Yet, if we are to reduce knife crime in a meaningful way, we must be more ambitious and seek early intervention. We owe that to the victims, to their families and to the many communities still living with the fear and trauma of serious violence.
