question text	Her Majesty's Government what priority they attach to reducing the increasing levels of knife crime; and when they intend to restore spending levels for youth services to assist local initiatives in this area.
tabling member printed	Lord Ouseley
uin	HL402
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>Tackling knife crime is a priority for the Government. Our Modern Crime Prevention Strategy published in March 2016 set out a range of measures to strengthen our response to knife crime. Our work to tackle knife crime is centred on four key strands – working with the police on operations and enforcement, work on legislative framework, work with retailers on responsible sales, and early intervention and prevention.</p><p> </p><p>We are taking firm action including encouraging police forces to undertake a series of coordinated national weeks of action to tackle knife crime under Operation Sceptre. The operation includes targeting habitual knife carriers, weapon sweeps, test purchases of knives from identified retailers, and the use of surrender bins. The Home Office hosted a national briefing event for police forces on Operation Sceptre on 14 June and a record twenty nine police forces are expected to be involved in the next week of action planned for mid July.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities are responsible for assessing need for youth services and allocating funding. The Government is supporting local authorities and the youth sector by investing to help youth organisations demonstrate their impact. The Government is investing in the National Citizen Service, investing up to £80 million through the ‘# iwill’ social action campaign and ‘Youth Investment Funds’ to help young people develop skills, improve their wellbeing and contribute to their communities. The Government is also investing in the ‘Delivering Differently for Young People’ programme, which helped local authorities develop new models for delivering on their statutory duty to provide positive activities for young people.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 17/07/2017 15:51:33 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
