Offensive Weapons Bill

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

I agree with much of what the hon. Gentleman is saying, but may I warn him about the idea that unstable family backgrounds are what leads to young people being groomed? I know of a police officer who is one of two parents and has a problem with his child being groomed and taken into the county lines orbit. I really do not want parents to believe that their children will be safe because they have two parents and even go to a Catholic church on a Sunday afternoon.

That does not make them safe. It does not mean that they will not be involved in gang culture at some point in the future.
