The Home Office has agreed a set of principles with major retailers and the British Retail Consortium to prevent the underage sale of knives and to ensure knives are displayed safely.</p><p> </p><p>Government is also supporting police action taken against knife crime. Most recently, in February 2016, the Home Office supported thirteen police forces who undertook coordinated action against knife crime. This involved targeting habitual knife carriers, weapon sweeps, test purchases of knives from identified retailers, and use of surrender bins.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, DCMS launched the Sport Strategy in December 2015, which sets out how sport can play a role in inclusivity and giving everyone the best chance in life.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 11/04/2016 13:02:47 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
