Written Question
Wednesday 10th June 2020
Asked by:
David Lammy (Labour - Tottenham)
Question
to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when the serious violence taskforce is next planned to meet.
Answered by Kit Malthouse
The Serious Violence Taskforce was established in 2018 to oversee the implementation of the Serious Violence Strategy. It last met on 26 June 2019.
The Government remains incredibly grateful for the work of the Taskforce which brought together Ministers, senior leaders and key partners. The Taskforce influenced additional action and investment in this area, for example through the creation of the new £200m Youth Endowment Fund, the consultation on the new duty on agencies to reduce serious violence and the launch of the Independent Review of Drugs Misuse.
The Government’s Manifesto set out an ambitious package of reforms to deliver on the people’s priorities and tackle violent crime and safeguard people’s streets and neighbourhoods. The Prime Minister and Home Secretary are driving this with a new cross-Whitehall Crime and Justice Taskforce to ensure we use every lever at our disposal to fight crime.
We will consider the future role for the Serious Violence Taskforce in delivering these priorities, within this context.
