Labour — Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 April 2025

Debate

Headingley Incident

Contribution

We are working as quickly as possible to understand and identify the nature and scale of the growing cohort of predominantly young men and boys who are fixated with violence. We want to ensure that we have a proper approach and multi-agency interventions to manage the risk that they pose. The Prime Minister has already said that if the law needs to change in recognition of this new and dangerous threat, we will change it, quickly.
