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


Knife Crime

I thank the right hon. Gentleman for giving way. His Committee's report is a very good and important document, and the subject of gangs is one of the most important areas it covers. Does he think that the Committee should return to this area in greater depth, because some of the statistics we have heard in the debate suggest that the growth in knife-related incidents in the last three or four years is a direct result of the increase in gang activity?
