Shivani Raja MP asks Written Parliamentary Question on knife sales

Image shows the WPQ, 'To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to enforce age restrictions on the (a) online and (b) offline sale of knives to persons under the age of 18.'

We must be doing everything we can to protect our communities and our young people against knife crime, with dangerous weapons easily falling into the wrong hands.

That’s why I’m pushing the Government to ensure that age restrictions are enforced, and communities are kept safe.

Safer Streets and Better Neighbourhoods

Making Leicester safer must be everyone’s top priority. We must ensure we get our fair share of police officers, work with the Police and Crime Commissioner, and promote anonymous tip lines to make our streets safer for everyone. We must also instil local pride in Leicester’s neighbourhoods by working with local resident associations and councillors to champion our area. These initiatives will tackle the issues that matter most to residents, and make Leicester a safer place to live, learn and work.
