Anyone in possession of a knife will recieved a mandatory 10 year sentence
I would like the Government to make a law change to ensure anyone guilty of illegal possession of a knife will recieve a mandatory 10 year prison sentence.
Knife crime devastates the lives of victims and their families and brings misery and fear to our communities. We need to work together to ensure that everyone understands that carrying a knife can easily end in tragedy.
