Proceeding contribution from Diane Abbott (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Knife Crime.
Knife Crime
The hon. Gentleman makes an interesting point. However, I have paid a lot of attention to black boys' educational achievement, and he might be surprised to know that newly arrived African immigrants' boys do significantly better than West Indian boys whose families have been in this country for generations. Time does not allow me to explain why that is.
