Offensive Weapons Bill

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

I do not want us to get stuck on this part of the debate—my hon. Friend is obviously keen to move on—but it is important. My understanding of data from Brent Council is that a typical gang member is 24 years old and was arrested for the first time at 14. Given that profile, it is likely that they will have had a troubled childhood, leading to a troubled adolescence.
