Proceeding contribution from David Evennett (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 June 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Knife Crime.


Knife Crime

I totally agree with the Minister's opening comment that the great majority of young people are law-abiding and well behaved. However, today, we are considering how we can tackle the minority. With 32 per cent. of schoolchildren admitting to carrying knives, according to a recent MORI poll, does he believe that an advertising campaign, however well intended, will have any discernable effect?
