Offensive Weapons Bill

Proceeding contribution from Sajid Javid (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 June 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Offensive Weapons Bill.

I thank my right hon. Friend for making that important point. He speaks with experience of the Home Office, and my predecessor as Home Secretary established the Serious Violence Taskforce for precisely this reason. I have already held my own first meeting of the taskforce. Each meeting leads to action, and, as I mentioned earlier, the last one led to action on social mobility and online activity. However, there are also

roles for the Department for Education, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, and other Departments. They will need to do their bit, because, as my right hon. Friend says, this will require cross-governmental action.
