Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 March 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill on Crime and Policing Bill.
Crime and Policing Bill
The hon. Member makes an important point. We know there is an issue with young people being able to get some of these lethal weapons. It becomes part of what they want to do, and part of the search for status is to carry particular kinds of weapons, but he is right that people can get access to dangerous knives in different ways. We need stronger prevention across the board. That is why the Young Futures programme we are working on is particularly important.
