<p>Tackling knife crime is a priority for the Government and we are taking action.
Our approach is centred on four key strands – early intervention and prevention, working
with the police on operations and enforcement, work with retailers on responsible
sales and work on the legislative framework. As part of this wide approach, on 18
July the Government announced its intention to consult on a number of proposals to
tackle knife crime . The consultation respond to concerns about how some retailers
are selling knives online. We will use the responses to the consultation to inform
further work to assess the impact on these proposals.</p>
