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


Knife Crime

I see no reason to change the age of criminal responsibility at the moment, but I want those who carry knives around in their teenage years to be brought before the law and dealt with accordingly. I do not want a seven-year-old who is being used as a caddy to be prosecuted, I want the person using them as a caddy to be prosecuted. That is how the law should work.
