Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Knife Crime.


Knife Crime

I thank the hon. Gentleman for his warm words about the Select Committee report and for the tone of the motion. In giving evidence to the Select Committee, he went out of his way to stress the importance of cross-party approaches, which also includes the voluntary sector. Does he agree that only by parties working together and raising the issue above party politics will we truly find a solution to knife crime?
