Offensive Weapons Bill

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

In the same spirit as my hon. Friend the Member for Romford (Andrew Rosindell), I say that the key thing is that the criminal justice system must be retributive. This is not about treating people who are sick, but about punishing people who are guilty. Until we send out that signal from this place, the general public will believe, with cause, that we do not understand what they know to be happening in their communities.
