Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps he is taking with the Attorney General to ensure that people who carry knives are prosecuted.
This question was answered on 8th October 2019
We work closely with the Attorney General and Home Office Ministers to ensure the Criminal Justice System commands public confidence and tackles crime effectively.
To address this and other serious crimes we’re recruiting 20,000 new police officers, investing £85 million in the CPS and building 10,000 additional prison places, together with the work of PCCs setting up Violence Reduction Units.
