Proceeding contribution from Mark Hunter (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Violent Crime Reduction Bill.


Violent Crime Reduction Bill

Does my hon. Friend agree that a longer sentence can be passed for stealing a bike than for being caught in possession of a knife in a public place, so there is something still fundamentally wrong with the Government’s priorities? Does she further agree that more needs to be done to ensure that our schools are a safe and secure place of learning for youngsters? Given recent evidence and the number of knife incidents since schools returned in September, far more still needs to be done.
