Business question from Charlie Elphicke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 February 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May we have a debate on knife crime, which is a serious concern for my constituents in Dover and Deal? There were more than 100 serious knife crimes a day in 2008-09, and in 80% of cases the perpetrators escaped jail. With the Home Office having taken positive steps and the recent report by knife crime crusader Brook Kinsella, this would be a good time for the House to debate the matter.
