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


Knife Crime

I apologise to the House for not being here for the whole of the debate; I have been on a Committee. Many people say that a knife amnesty would make a contribution to reducing a knife crime, although it would not be the only answer. Would my right hon. Friend consider that option?
