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
We certainly will return to this subject. We received evidence from young people—some as young as seven—who were a part of gangs and who said they were being used as "caddies" to carry knives for older children. The nature of gang culture makes it possible that knife crime will increase even further.
