Labour — Birmingham Ladywood

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 October 2026

Debate

Knife Crime

Contribution

The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right. It is imperative that we get knives off our streets, and he will know that we have already taken 63,000 knives off our streets and banned ninja swords. We will make more progress, including on a consultation that we have recently carried out looking at a wider regime for the sale of knives, and we will update the House on that in due course.
