Although I welcome the thrust of what the Home Secretary has said, I have reservations about her proposals for hospital visits. It would be much better to take perpetrators to prisons to see the effect for them if they continue their behaviour. Will she accept the words of her new police knife crime tsar, Alf Hitchcock, who says it would be much better for the political parties to leave their politics aside when discussing this important issue? Will she convene a meeting with the Opposition parties and other stakeholders to ensure that we produce some long-term solutions to this difficult problem?

The Government need to do more in this regard, because 46 per cent. of crime is alcohol-related. On the Asda website this morning, one could purchase a litre of water for 93p, whereas a litre of Smartprice beer costs only 52p. What further steps do the Government propose to take to ensure that the alcohol industry and the supermarkets are aware of their responsibility to stop loss leaders being sold in supermarkets and to save the taxpayer the £7.2 billion that we spend on alcohol-related crime?
