answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2014 answer text <p>This Government inherited over 223,000 records - dating from before December 2008 - with very poor data quality, and no structured plan. Alongside wider work to restore control to our immigration system, particularly through abolishing the UK Border Agency, the Government initiated a programme to bring sense to this stock of old records. Having identified and taken out records relating to those people known to have left the country, as well as duplicate and erroneous records, the number of meaningful pre-2008 records is just over 89,000. Those are now being addressed in the proper way.</p><p /> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 11/12/2014 17:10:02 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

In addition, we are funding Redthread, a charity which provides youth workers in major trauma centres in London to <br>support young people injured through violence, including stabbings. We have produced a training pack on joint enterprise which warns young people about the consequences of carrying knives and other gang violence, and we have published <br>advice to schools and colleges to help teachers prevent violence and knife carrying. This will be adapted for primary schools. <br><br>We continue to strengthen the law and send a clear message that knife possession will not be tolerated by legislating to restrict the use of simple cautions for certain offences, including knife possession, in the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill.</p><p /> answering member constituency Hornsey and Wood Green answering member printed Lynne Featherstone question first answered 11/12/2014 14:50:01 answering member 1531 label Biography information for Baroness Featherstone
