Please back a petition on the Number 10 website calling for a change in the law over the sale of knives to the under 18s. A recent investigation in Lambeth showed that 11 out of 23 shops who were anonymously tested sold knives to the under 18s. This sort of reckless behaviour only increases the chances of more stabbings and violence on our streets. The proposed change will tighten up the laws over selling of knives so fewer shops escape prosecution if they are caught selling to under 18s.
More details and to sign petition visit, the petition is open until 8 November 2008
