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


Knife Crime

Just a year ago, my constituent, Police Constable Jon Henry, was stabbed to death. He was a fine police officer and a devoted family man, who was loved and respected by all who knew him. Since then, an individual has been detained under the mental health Acts, but I cannot comment on the case because it is sub judice. Will my hon. Friend say how the Government propose to protect people, particularly police officers, from those who suffer from serious mental health conditions and serious personality disorders who perpetrate some of those crimes?
